Hey, watch your mouth. There are definitely places in NJ that are hell holes (Trenton being one), but if you go by Money magazine's best places to live, the list is topped by Moorestown (suburb of Philly) and in #9, Chatham (suburb of NY). No other state had 2 places on the list.

After saying that, I really don't like the representation we have in Congress and the Senate. Corzine simply bought his job by paying something like $70 mil in ads for his Senate seat. The state government is so corrupt, they should just blow up the state capital and start over. Looserburg shouldn't have taken the Torch's Senate seat but the sheep in NJ voted for him (or at least that was the way the votes were counted). I didn't vote for either of these losers.

NJ is known for dirty and corrupt politics. Corzine and Lautenburg don't belong in their seats. You are right that few other states would vote them in. Now we have to make sure that they don't get re-elected.

New Jersey is the richest state in the nation (per capita income) and 2 of the 4 wealthiest counties in the United States are in New Jersey (the other 2 top 4 were in Northern Virginia).

New Jersey is hardly a hellhole. I agree with you that there are some crummy areas but it also is a very beautiful state.

Unfortunately far too many people get their impressions of New Jersey from television shows, which to say the least, are very misleading.
