I said a week or so ago that I would not be surprised to see Mac take N.J. & NY.
Yeah I’m from Jersey... I wouldn’t be surprised either. But I’ve seen stranger things happen. Don’t know if you know this but NJ is like a magnet, opposite at both ends, north and south.
NY wouldn't surprise me since many of the Hillary voters are upset at Obama.
I know lots and lots of folks in NY & NJ who are voting for Mac.
I live in the Bronx,and I doubt Mac will take our state.
But, there is quite a lot of apathy here. No one is very politically active since it is basically a 85/15/10 (other) split dems to reps here in the Bronx, at least. Democrats have almost complete authority here, and win every election regardless of who is running.
I have seen NO obama signs. 1 mc cain sign (2 if you include me) and 1 McCain bumper sticker.
But yes, this is a morale booster. I am feeling much better these days, and praying!!
My Democrat in-laws in Upstate NY are all voting McCain — I had to be picked up off the floor for that one. Ditto most of their town of 35,000. That NEVER happens.
When I was with the Rudy campaign, the NJ Women for Rudy was the most active and organized that I have ever seen out of a group of women. MN was pretty close but NJ was the best. Those women transferred their support to McCaina and Palin when asked just like the rest of us did and gone full speed ahead since those days. NJ could be the sleeper of the night!
It's hard to imagine McCain winning NY but as the following 2008 primary map shows, Obama has very little Democrat support in NYS.
