Will Christie have to be VP pick to bring bring Mew Jersey around?
Well, in a close Election, NJ’s 14 Electoral Votes would sure be a boost but, it would have to be done without Christie on the Ticket, IMO. We need Florida’s 29 EVs more than we need NJ’s 14. So, I’m thinking it’s a slam dunk.... The 2012 GOP Ticket will be the M&M Ticket: Mitt and Marco.
New Jersey went 57 percent Democrat last round...Getting 7 percent to vote Republican will be an uphill battle but one worth trying.
I doubt it but NC, VA, and FL will flip for sure.
I live in NJ. It would be absolutely shocking to me if Romney won the state. I just can’t see it. The most populated counties are heavy Democrat, and they do turn out to vote.
But I suppose stranger things have happened.
If New Jersey goes Romney it will just be icing on a mega blowout.
My prediction - NJ goes Obama, Florida goes Romney and Romney wins by 3-5% popular vote.
Statistically impossible for ROmney to win NJ.
But CC is doing his part, New Jersey might not bring in EVs, but it IS one of the largest campaign contribution states for GOP Presidential races.
"Now we can give it Romneycare, too! That's how much we love this guy!"

If New Jersey goes Republican this November, so will Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, and even California. In other words, it will not happen. My wishing it won’t help.
So, he’s predicting that a leftist will win the race for ‘12 POTUS.
I would go outside the box...and chose the governor of PUERTO RICO as my VP....spanish and conservative!
