1. Some additional info

As of a couple days ago, Rush Holt's campaign site had extensive information about issue positions, a News section with several press releases, and other such typical components. You're right that now it's very minimal, so I'm guessing they're in the midst of a major revamping. Let's see how it looks in a few days.

I don't know why you say that Pallone "seems okay, but he's already been in Congress a long time - 13 terms". What's with the "but"? I like both Pallone and Holt, partly because each of them has been in long enough that we know what kind of federal legislator he is. With Booker we have only guesses, and generally unfavorable ones at that (at least for my money). I know almost nothing about Oliver.

On the Republican side, the candidate you've evidently heard of is Alieta Eck. She does have an opponent, Steve Lonegan. He's already run a couple of statewide races and I think he's considered the favorite for the nomination.

I'm guessing that any of the Dems would be a solid favorite over either of the Republicans, but I don't recall seeing any polling data.
