Via CBS NY:
Mudslinging has reached a fever pitch in the race for U.S. Senate in New Jersey.
During Wednesday night’s contentious debate, Democrat Cory Booker accused his opponent of being tea party extremist, while Republican Steve Lonegan said Booker is nothing but a Hollywood stand-in for President Barack Obama.
The Senate showdown will continue until voters go to the polls next week, CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday.
Newark Mayor Booker took time out from his campaign to announce that upscale supermarket Whole Foods will open a branch in his city, a branch, officials said, that will charge “affordable” prices for local residents.
