I don't like President Bush's chances in New Jersey. He's got a better chance in Pennslyvania. Right now the polls put the President ahead in Ohio and Florida. If the President can get PA secured, he's won a second term in the White House.
Agreed. I'll accept that as a friendly amendment to my post. Pennsylvania is more middle-American than Joisey.
Bush must try hard to nail down all four of the states
I mentioned -- Florida can never be taken for granted,
and neither can any of the others. But the next large state after the four "light red" states is Pennsylvania. Another
place to target is New Mexico.
For all intents and purposes, South Jersey IS Pennsylvania. It's the same media market. All Bush would have to do is buy some cable plays in North Jersey to supplement the barrage that's likely going on down south. I doubt he'd want to bother buying expensive NYC ads. He'll never win New York.
But Jersey's more in play than you think.
