The GOP gets an interesting candidate in New Jersey

The GOP probably has little chance of winning the Senate race against Frank Lautenberg in New Jersey, but it sounds as if they have a very interesting and wealthy candidate, John Crowley, to put up against the 84 year old Senator.
Republicans are enthused that Crowley brings a gripping biography to the race. He left his job as a senior executive at Bristol Myers to start his own biomedical company, searching for a medical treatment for two of his children, both of whom have a rare neuromuscular disorder.

In 2001, he sold his startup company for more than $130 million, and the new company later developed a treatment for the disease.

His story was the subject of the book "The Cure: How a Father Raised $100 Million and Bucked the Medical Establishment in a Quest to Save His Children," and the rights have been optioned to a movie studio.
Of course, Lautenberg has his own millions to throw into the race and New Jersey will probably go Democratic, but in a dismal year of GOP recruiting, this is a brief ray of hope.
