Pallone Will Run for Senate
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) intends to run for the U.S. Senate seat opened by the death of Frank Lautenberg, three sources with knowledge of the congressman's thinking told the Newark Star-Ledger.

"Pallone has long harbored interest in running for the U.S. Senate and said as much this year, even though Newark Mayor Cory Booker has led in polls of potential candidates and is the favorite of many top Democrats. One drawback would have been Pallone having to give up his House seat that he's held for 25 years. But since Christie has bumped the election up to 2013, Pallone can run for Senate without having to worry about giving up that seat."
