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.
I agree about NJ as i have been here my entire life. They will be busing in anyone they can to vote for BigO. Something like 110% voting in Neward, Camden, Jersey City. NJ stays somewhat under the radar in a lot of circumstances. Pa. or NY usually gets blamed. NJ is the most corrupt state in the Union. They just do it quietly unlike Chicago(Il.) Look at Melendez, Lautenberg & Torricelli. Then add Corzine and you have a politically worthless state. IMHO
