The reasons why Kerry is doing badly in New Jersey is partly not his own doing but his party's. New Jersey has the most corrupt state government in the entire Union. The Democrats are in control of everything - and as could be expected - everything is a mess. Governor McGreevey named his gay lover to the position of "Homeland Security Advisor", the man wasn't even a U.S. Citizen, nor could he even get the clearance needed to attend Federal security briefings. And this is happening in the second most impacted state following 9/11. BUT weren't those "boys nights out" fun... Boy if that doesn't make you think of Longshanks son and his "High Counsel, who was trained in all the arts of war and military tactics", who Longshanks threw out the window in Braveheart.
