Steve Lonegan is running for the Senator of New Jersey and losing badly, but not badly enough. Sarah Palin is on the way to put the final nail in his coffin.

I love New Jersey! Especially the "Jersey Shore." Reminds me of my kids.

Tea Party celebrity and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is on her way to New Jersey to campaign for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Steve Lonegan, his campaign said tonight.

Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate, will be at the New Egypt Speedway in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, for a Lonegan rally at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

"I am honored to have Governor Palin join us for the largest grass-roots campaign event in New Jersey history," Lonegan said in a statement.

"While Joe Biden uses the excuse of a government shutdown to avoid an embarrassing reception campaigning for Cory Booker, I am proud to have the opportunity to stand next to a great conservative leader who should have been the vice president as we go into the final hundred hours til victory on Wednesday, October 16th," he said.

Yes that is what you want when you are in a tight race with a very popular opponent, to bring in one of the most divisive, and superfluous characters in American politics.

By the way if Palin is flying to Jersey for this guy, you KNOW he is not running a "grass roots" campaign. Because SOMEBODY is footing her bill. Media whores don't turn tricks for free.

Usually I would think that having Palin fly into stand next to you, would be the dumbest thing that a candidate could do, but this Lonegan guy is essentially blowing the lid off stupid.

In their debate last night, during a disagreement over fracking, Lonegan said this:

“You may not be able to swim in that river, I think, probably because of all the bodies floating around from shootings in the city,” said Lonegan, provoking an audible reaction from the audience at Rowan University.

“Oh my god, oh my god,” said Booker. “This is what he thinks of our cities — that there are bodies floating in city. How insulting is that to the people of the city and others working together? This is insulting.”

Yeah, I am not sure he actually needs Palin's help to lose this one.

And I can tell you who she will NOT get the opportunity to endorse, or even meet, and that would be New Jersey Governor Chris Christie,. He is much too smart to EVER allow himself be photographed standing next to the Wasilla Wendigo.

But hey, at least she might get to meet her idol Snooki!

But then again, if Snooki has competent media people, maybe not.

Update: Here is a petition to thank Sarah Palin for helping Cory Booker win this election. I signed.
