"We" who didn't vote for it don't deserve it. Further, New Jersey has been lost to immigration - legal and illegal.

We don't all deserve it. Here are the results from my neck of the woods, Sussex County, NJ:

FREEHOLDERS
Susan Zellman (R).......14,794
Glen Vetrano (R).........14,583
Howard Burrell (D).....10,386
Edwin Selby (D)..........7,756

SENATE
Robert Littell (R).........23,016
Jim Morrison (D).........10,748
x - 1 seat

ASSEMBLY
Guy Gregg (R)............24,379
Alison McHose (R).....23,007
Thomas Boyle (D).......11,591


The northwest part of NJ--Sussex and Warren Counties--are reliably conservative. Red zone. Check the county by county red/blue map. It's not our fault we're outnumbered by the idiots in Trenton, Camden, Elizabeth, Newark, and Paterson.

See those red counties in the upper left hand corner of the state? I live in the very tip top part of Sussex County. Very nice place to live. Very good people. As a matter of fact, in 2000, 1,253,791 New Jerseyans voted for GWB, 41% of the state voters. That's more GWB voters than Alabama (943,799), Arizona (715,112), Tennessee (1,056,480) and a lot of other red states. Sure, the red states obviously had a better % of GWB voters, but the fact is in New Jersey there are more Republican voters than in many red states, meaning even more people who "don't deserve it" than people who do in other states. So don't be so glib about it.

More than 33,179 of Sussex County residents, 58%, voted for GWB. There's good people in New Jersey! Send help, not insults!

"They deserve the mess they vote for. Enjoy, Jersey."

The problem in Jersey is that almost nobody (except for the ultra politically active) votes in these midterm elections. This is why NJ is such a mess. It's difficult to motivate people to vote when they don't even know who the candidates are.

In NJ, incumbants prefer to be unknown so that voters have a more difficult time getting rid of them on election day.

It's a really sick situation.
