Same-sex marriages will begin within days in New Jersey after the state's highest court ruled unanimously Friday to uphold a lower-court order that gay weddings must start Monday and to deny a delay that was sought by Gov. Chris Christie's administration.

There are plenty of true conservatives in South Jersey, my sister-in-law being one and she has many like minded friends. Sadly the state is dominated by the north. They live there voluntarily, not because of the politics of the general population but because they have a nice area and want to be close to extended family. Moving to a deep red state isn’t a realistic option for conservatives stuck in blue territory (like me here in Pa).
