And why shouldn't he still be popular in New Jersey? My God, it's New Jersey!

Remember, Jersey voted against Lincoln...twice!

Lincoln wasn't even on the ballot in many southern states. Are we to mock the South as well? Besides, the article is a joke, because McGreevey's a joke here. I was at a place last night to listen to a friend's band and when one of the band members started talking about McGreevey, the place erupted in laughter.

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.
