You have to remember that it would be a miracle if Schundler won. New Jersey is a third world toilet, and the fact that this race is even close is an indication of just how bad a candidate McGreevey is.
The Bush team may be playing this smart, too. I get the same sense in this race that I got in the Giuliani-Dinkins mayoral race in New York City in 1989. Dinkins won that year, but four years later the place was such a mess that the voters had no choice but to turn to Giuliani as their savior.
Can't say I blame him.
Most recent polling numbers in New Jersery (10/17) are: McGreevey (D) 49%, Schundler (R) 39%, Undecided 12%. Source: Quinnipiac University.
The good guys are ten points behind in both races, ten days before the election. Not good. Dubya needs to start stumping for Earley and Schundler.
Yep...but those numbers from the Washington Post are totally fabricated!! Every poll I've seen lately has Warner and Earley neck-and-neck.
FReegards...MUD
Hogwash, IMHO!! There are only two races that really matter this November...NJ & VA!! And Dubyuh has refused to assist one iota in either campaign...he needs to get off his arse and help out!! Bi-Partisanship is fer LOSERS like Dubyuh's Daddy '92!!!
The folks fighting the War on Terrorism won't miss Dubyuh for a day or two while he jets to NJ and motorcades to VA fer a few hours each...and it'll dominate the news.
FReegards...MUD
That's what I said a week ago, and everyone here told me to leave W alone.
Poll puts Warner lead at 10 points
LOS ANGELES TIMES/ WASHINGTON POST NEWS SERVICE Oct 28, 2001
Democrat Mark R. Warner holds a 10-percentage point lead over Republican Mark L. Earley in the governor's race, according to a new Washington Post poll.
Warner leads Earley 51 percent to 41 percent among all likely voters statewide. The margin widens to 24 percentage points in Warner's home base of Northern Virginia.
The Post poll interviewed 1,010 likely voters from Monday to Thursday. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Last week's poll's margin was little different from one the newspaper conducted in August, which showed Warner with an 11-percentage point lead statewide.
An independent poll taken a week earlier showed Warner and Earley in a statistical dead heat. The survey by Mason-Dixon Political/Media Research Inc. of Columbia, Md., showed Earley within 3 percentage points of Warner - within the poll's 4-point margin of error.
Mason-Dixon put Warner at 45 percent, Earley at 42 percent and Libertarian William Redpath at 1 percent, with 12 percent undecided.
A Mason-Dixon poll taken in mid-September showed Warner ahead of Earley by 6 percentage points. That poll also showed Warner with a hefty lead in Northern Virginia.
The Times-Dispatch/NBC12 Poll, also taken in mid-September, showed Warner leading Earley by 3 percentage points, 39 percent to 36 percent, within the poll's 5.1 percentage point variable for error. Sixteen percent were undecided, and 1 percent backed Redpath. Seven percent gave no answer.

Also, Scott poll had : Warner 44% Earley 40% last week( Margin of error was 5%)
WJLA for the week of Oct 22 : Warner 49% Earley 46%( margin of error was 4%)
Naww, just felt like arguin', my FRiend...plus, I'd prefer not to throw Virginny to the wolves just to make a point about Joisey.
FReegards...MUD
Not me...I've been hammerin' on Dubyuh regarding this fer awhile now...MUD
Earley: This is where W's help can win it. Virginia IS DOABLE!
Well, duhhh. Earley is such a weak candidate that he needs help. Schundler just needs the GOP idiots to get off his back. If Virginia had a candidate like Schundler, we would be turning out to support him. Thanks, VAGOP, for giving us an NAACP sob sister to vote for. That practically guarantees us a Marxist democrat carpetbagger for governor.
Your right. Chrisite "Thinks She God" Whitman's endorsement of Schundler had all the sincerity of a born-again jail conversion.
Whitman et al sure must celebrate the Ides of March.
