There is considerable speculation among Democrats that Rob Andrews is about to secure some major endorsements for his U.S. Senate bid against Frank Lautenberg – possibly including State Senators Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) and Brian Stack (D-Hudson), and Bergen County Democratic Chairman Joseph Ferriero.  Update: Ferriero is faving tremendous pressure to back Lautenberg.

Lesniak, one of the state’s most powerful insiders, is the de facto head of the Union County Democratic Party, while Stack, who won 75% of the vote in his State Senate primary last year, has considerable clout in Northern Hudson County. Lautenberg lives in Bergen County.
