New Jersey May Be Closer Than The MSM Thought

I just got back from a reception-and-joint-meeting of the New Jersey Family Policy Council and the Alliance Defense Fund. Among the many inspirational speeches my wife and I heard that night was this little item that you likely won't hear in the MSM, even in New Jersey. The Presidential election in New Jersey might have been even closer than everyone thought when they went to bed early Wednesday morning (November 3rd). New Jersey is still counting provisional and absentee ballots. The latest figures, according to my unofficial source, shows John Kerry carrying New Jersey 51% to 49%--not 53% to 46% as originally reported.

This does not mean that anything will change this time (though wouldn't it be a gas if George Bush carried New Jersey after all?). But it does mean that New Jersey is not so "blue" as the Democrats might like to think. If George W. Bush had actively campaigned here, he might have carried New Jersey. Moreover, the 2008 Republican candidate might be able to carry New Jersey with a little attention--including helping to flush out the RINO-dominated machine that dares call itself the Republican Party of New Jersey.
