Wishful thinking.
For whatever reason, blacks and the 18-29 year old age group just aren’t motivated to back Dems in Jersey and Va. If they aren’t motivated now, then they won’t be motivated by Nov 3rd. Obama, Biden, and other Dem celebrities have visited Jersey & VA countless times during the summer.
It’s surprising how unmotivated the democrats are. Last spring in their primary there was only a 4% turnout for governor and two other statewide races. That’s unbelievably low. It was even high profile with McAuliffe spending lots of $$ and three men in the race making lots of noise.
The problem is the suburban ditzy women who decide NJ elections will either go for Corzine or Third Party Daggett.
