I don't think that's true at all. My dear old aunt who didn't like Schundler the last time around and voted for McGreevey offered that she's thinking about voting for Schundler this time around. Apparently the Catholic Church's stand on stem-cell research is getting through to her and I suspect others. And I was really stunned last night when my friends liberal West Wing-watching public school teacher wife not only said that she was voting Republican this fall for State office but when I told her she could vote in the Democrat primary for local office and simply not pull the lever for Corzine, she sounded like she really liked the idea. I think Corzine is going to hit more resistance than he thinks he is.
I hear you, and Corzine won by a fairly close margin especially when you consider how much more money he spent. I just find NJ disapointing over the last decades - the Clinton elections seemed to have moved them permanently to the dem column, and I haven't seen any evidence to expect them to turn it around.
Keep the faith and so will I! Thanks! ;-)
