SPEAK OUT: Hot Congressional Race; Who do you Like?

Incumbent Republican Frank LoBiondo will face off against Democrat Bill Hughes Junior in the Second Congressional District.

President Obama won the district by 8.9%, making it a Democrat-leaning district by 5%.

In addition to that, his father defeated LoBiondo in 1992, but LoBiondo was able to win in 1994 when Bill Hughes Sr. retired.

So given his family history he should be strong candidate, particularly in this Democrat-leaning district.

Real Clear Politics lists this race as likely GOP. I am not sure I would agree with that assessment. I would say it's a toss up for now.
