Actually, "Republicans" owned the Governor's mansion throughout the 80s and 90s. On the federal level they are definitely a one-party junta (but so are most states). Locally, RINOs actually have a go of it.
The same type of flight happens from MA to NH -- ironically, it's frequently the liberals who flee to NH to escape the hell they've created in MA, and then proceed to start turning NH into the same kind of hell.
Quote: "Although living in PA which has a comparable dirtbag Governor in Fast Eddie Rendell, at least it is not a 1 Party State like they have with the NJ politburo. NJ is the only place that I know of where people move to PA just to get out of their state."
Looks like my commute to work is going to get a whole lot longer because either I am finding a job in a Red State or moving to PA and commuting to NJ. But hey, soon enough Johnny Boy Corzine will find new and exciting ways to tax residents of other states, just like NY.
The sad thing is, NJ taxes are already exceedingly high. NJ was attractive to businesses because it was an alternative to NY. Within a year of Corzine's governorship, that will go by the wayside. Start the egg timer and count the months until there is a serious slide in the NJ economy.
