The governor there is experiencing record approval ratings and he's a top surrogate for Romney. It's probably a long shot but who knows?

I don't live in New Jersey but a quick check of statistics...

New Jersey gubernatorial election, 2009 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United States presidential election in New Jersey, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like nearly twice as many people voted in the presidential election than in the gubernatorial election.

My guess is once again about 2 million people will be voting for Obama.

Absolutely. Every state will be in play given Obama's shoddy record of total failure. He promised transparency, deficit reduction, unity and not division, and jobs. He has delivered NONE of it. All states will be up for grabs including New Jersey.

Don't know about that but I do think NJ will be somewhat in play forcing the Dems to spend cash in a state they normally wouldn't have.

NJ will be contested, it could help by being a drain on Obamas resorces, moreso than anything else, it will be closeer than 08

Instead of trying for a difficult state, NJ, maybe it would be wiser to pick Rubio and be sure to win Florida.

As a life long Jersey resident, this is wishful thinking. The Dems maybe forced to spend more money here than they intended to, but Obama will win this state handily.

Well, in a recent poll in MA (a deep blue state), Obama is ahead against Romney, but not where I thought he would be (51-40). I expected Obama to be 60+ (he won the state by 26 points 62-36 in 2008). Polls are still hard to read at this point, but this *might* be an indication that support is softening which could put some more states in play.

That's a good point. If there re enough states like this, he might wind up diverting a lot of resources. Especially considering his fundraising is down.
