Votes are cast by registered voters and eligible, but non registered voters who think they do not participate in the voting.
Biased news media monopolizes the flavor of information the voters need digest in order to make an informed decision.
Politicians practiced in measuring words and calculating sentences operate on the border of ethical and legal limits.
The minimal level of critical thinking and thorough investigation of candidates by the voters ensures that NJ will continue to writhe in a state of chronic pathology.
Will not be surprised if Jon gets elected but strangely enough the day after an election you can't seem to find anyone who voted for the winning candidate.
Would like to see a severe limit on the amount of funds spent on an election and a standard comparison chart published to compare
candidates' records.
In this day of relational databases it is amazing no one has chronicled the statements and actions of candidates and their supporters for quick reference of an accumulated 'body of works'.
We need to see a pattern to make an informed decision. Isolated snippets marketed to promote or denegrated a candidate are all we get from the media. There are a few isolated investigative reporters but without a database to reference and summarizes astounding information, their work becomes neutralized.
I see Corzine deciding not to run for re election at the last minute. That way they won't have a democrat to blame for the shambles the state is in. New Jersey's courts being what they are, they may even wait until AFTER the legal election deadline to have Corzine drop out so the Christie campaign can't engineer a counter campaign against his new opponent. Senator Torracelli set the precedent.
But the voters may want another Christie in office, they certainly won't want a MacGreevey or a Florio.
THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSES GUYS!!! However, I am left with one more question. Why has NJ become such a blue state. When my mother was growing up, NJ was slightly for the GOP. Now we are almost the bluest of the blues. Why? What happened? I do not believe it is simply demographic change...Texas experienced even more demographic (racial/ethnic) change without its political leaning changing too much. What happened? I do not believe it is the secular nature of the northeat...many states out west are secular but can still be for the GOP or are swing states. What happened in NJ?
