“something tells me Obama is more worried about this state than he is letting on.”
As a NJ resident I can tell you the thrill is gone (it was gone when we elected Governor Christie a year after Obama won NJ); things are so bad here I definitely think Romney can win NJ. A lot of jobs were lost here in the financial sector, and those workers know that while Romney might not be able to bring some of those jobs back, Obama DEFINITELY won’t.
I saw a schedule of one of Obama’s bus tours, and I think it listed stops in Illinois; I had said nearly a year ago that he would have a hard time winning there. The simple fact is that too few people are “better off than they were four years ago” for him to be re-elected.
If Romney can win New Jersey it will be a landslide victory for Romney. I doubt Romney can win California, but I have not seen ONE Obama sign here, and I live in liberal los angeles county. I hardly see any Obama stickers on cars anymore, maybe one car out of 30 I will see one, but in 2008 there were many, now, hardly any. So I am hoping that many libs just won’t show up to the polls, yeah they might say they support Obama, doesn’t mean they will go and vote for him. Its one thing to answer a phone call by a pollster asking who you want to vote for and a whole other thing to get your butt up and actually go to the polls. I think many Obama voters will just stay home, won’t vote for Romney, but won’t vote for Obama either
