No wonder Steve Lonegan had Sarah Palin speak at his rally. He is as delusional as she is.

Here is a report on the rally from New Jersey.com:  

"New Jersey, know that the eyes of America are on you now," Palin said. "You can turn things around. Something big is happening here," the former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor told an enthusiastic crowd of about 4,000 people at the New Egypt Speedway. During the event, the Lonegan campaign said more than 2,000 people had attended, but released a revised count late Saturday night estimating more than 4,000 people had attended because 2,300 cars had been parked at the speedway. 

Palin called the government shutdown an act of disrespect against military families whose paychecks and death benefits were delayed. U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, whose death in June prompted this election, "was the last World War II veteran to serve in Congress. His memory is dishonored, along with all of our military veterans." 

"Bottom line, guys: The politicians are using the military as pawns," she added. 

Lonegan would fight to repeal the "train wreck" that is Obamacare, she continued, chastising those who said it was too late to stop it. "They used to say that about Prohibition, too, but today I believe you can get a beer with your famous New Jersey pizza. The law of the land is not settled until you say it is settled. 

"Thank you for you being here. You who have the Jersey fight — you who are here for love of country," she said, to cheers and applause. 

Lonegan said he was thrilled to have Palin by his side. 

"Sarah Palin is a wonderful mother, she was a mayor of her town, a governor, a vice presidential candidate. She is an absolute wonderful model for women voters," Lonegan said in a brief press conference before Palin’s appearance. "She represents New Jersey." 

"They are absolutely scared to death of Sarah Palin coming here because they know she is going to mobilize this base," he said.

I think Lonegan is getting "scared to death" confused with "laughing hysterically."

As for mobilizing a base I seriously doubt there is a  base of people in New Jersey who are interested, or impressed, with anything that Sarah Palin has to say. I would bet big money that if the crowd had been interviewed right after the rally, that a large chunk of them would have been there because Palin was famous for saying stupid things, and because there was no circus in town competing for their attention.

And the fact that Palin believes that Lonegan could possibly have ANY impact on the implementation of Obamacare, after the entire Republican party just fell on their face trying to stop it, is only made less ridiculous when compared to Lonegan's statement that she is a "wonderful mother" and a "wonderful model for women voters."

Yeah, not so much.

Lonegan also has a rather inflated idea of the importance of his little Senate race, saying:

“A win in New Jersey on Wednesday, which we will have,” Lonegan said, “will be the shot heard ’round the world.”

Yeah NOTHING says arrogant prick quite like comparing the possibility to your election to the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

And nothing says "ignorant moron" like believing your struggling campaign can be rescued by an appearance from the most famous quitter in American politics.
