"Are you denying that voters in NJ voted against Lincoln for president...twice?"

I said nothing of the sort - merely that much of the rest of the country didn't vote for him either.

"I come from MA. I'm not leaping to the defense of the Commonwealth everytime a Freeper flames Kerry."

No, but most people don't flame MA when Kerry says or does something stupid. Having lived in a very nice township for several years now, I do get a bit irritated at the fact that people who've never even been to this state, let alone lived here, take any chance they can to flame NJ. It's a toxic waste dump. It's a liberal wasteland. It's a gay state. It's this, or that, or the other untrue thing. This thread alone hits more at NJ than it does at McGreevey, and it's all over a BS AP article. It's just ridiculous.

"Geez. Take it easy, will yah?"

I'm not angry/upset, but I do occassionally respond to flames against NJ.

They're right behind him - 100%.

SHHHHHHHHH!

Don't let on to the fact that there are some beautiful, bucolic, rural areas here!

Folks might get the idea to move here.

Let 'em think the WHOLE PLACE is a toxic sewer!

"Let 'em think the WHOLE PLACE is a toxic sewer!"

I drive past a corn field, two horse ranches, and a huge strawberry farm on my twenty-five minute ride to work in the morning. :-)

Hey, my family, on my father's side, is from New Jersey. I have been there many, many times over the past 50-odd years.

Geezeey, peezeey. You're taking this way too hard.

Smile. Have a good weekend.

You're half right. NJ voted for McClellan, a PA native and future NJ governor, in 1864; in 1860, it split its electors between Stephen A. Douglas and Lincoln.

Thanks, TR! Bully!
