How do you think the "invisible primary" took place for Cory Booker in the recent NJ Senate race? For example, I know Nancy Pelosi is personally close to Rush Holt and seemingly has policy preferences closer to his than to Cory Booker's. But immediately after they (and Pallone) declared their candidacy, she endorsed Booker. Now, I understand that Booker is a rising star, a potential VP nominee in 2016, and as shown by the actual vote tally, very popular among NJ Democrats. But I also know- from reading this and other blogs- that political scientists think of endorsements as particularly important in primary races, and I'm curious if you think there was any actual coordination among party actors early on or if they all just read the polls and went with their gut, given how little open support Holt and Pallone (both credible candidates) received until the very end of the contest. Any thoughts?
