"There is no doubt in my mind or in the minds of any of my campaign staff that the shutdown cost me the election," Lonegan said in an interview with the New Jersey Star-Ledger on Monday. "If I had known it was going to happen and that it was going to be handled so badly in Washington, I wouldn't have run for Senate."
Lonegan supported the shutdown while he was running for Senate.
Booker was long expected to clinch the nomination and win the Senate seat. Lonegan trailed in most polling of the race, even before the shutdown.

Apparently Denial Is A River In New Jersey
Because failed US Senate candidate and GOP nutjob Steve Lonegan is now blaming the GOP shutdown he wanted for his loss to Cory Booker last week.
It's one thing to lie to the universe and blame a position you supported for your loss. It's another thing entirely to do it on something as asinine as a government shutdown in a state like New Jersey. This guy isn't competent enough to run a leaf blower. He's going to find out the hard way that he won't get any Chris Christie style passes from the NJ GOP or the press on this one.

Things that will get you fired by the Obama White House: tweeting inconvienent truths about just how incompetent this administration is.
Things that will not get you fired by the Obama White House: an insurance exchange website so awful that it proves just how incompetent this administration is.
I understand you're very familiar with both getting fired for tweeting and being completely incompetent at information technology. You'd be perfect as a lazy government employee.
Ah, yes, the Republicans who voted to end the shutdown stabbed Mr. Lonegan in the back. Now where have I heard that rationale before?
