Stating that as fact doesn't make it so. If you think any Republican can win NJ without a major Election Fraud investigation a year prior to the election you're in fantasy land.
So, if the DOJ drops indictments by September you might have a chance.
Good luck.

Bill Clinton won New Jersey by only 80,000 votes in 1992. Gore’s 500,000 vote margin went down to 250,000 for Kerry, one of the biggest percentage swings in the country, and we can thank the 9/11 effect.
New Jersey’s median voter is affluent and concerned about security. She’ll vote for a Republican who doesn’t remind her too much of Newt Gingrich. These voters have no natural affinity for the Democrats but feel driven there because they can’t identify with some types of southern conservatism. Give them a Republican they can vote for, the one who made New York City safe for them and stood up to the terrorists, and they’ll bring their 15 electoral votes to our side.
I’m not saying I support Rudy. I haven’t decided how I’m voting in the primary yet and will support whoever the eventual candidate is. But this is a sound strategic argument, IMO.
