President Bush to visit New Jersey on Monday
October 14, 2004, 2:54 PM EDT
WASHINGTON -- President Bush will stump in southern New Jersey Monday, the first time he has visited the state for a campaign-related event that was not a fund-raiser.
Details of Bush's scheduled visit to Burlington County have not been released, but it was announced to reporters on Air Force One on Thursday that the president would be in New Jersey on Monday afternoon, the Bush-Cheney campaign said.
Later Monday, First Lady Laura Bush is scheduled to attend a fund-raiser at former Gov. Christie Whitman's Oldwick home.

Not to mention the massive ground game the Republicans have. I am hearing it is much stronger than the democrats.
Huh? This sounds to me like the Kerry camp doesn't think NJ or MI or PA are safe. Edwards in MARYLAND today. Yeah, that's a real swing state. Or is it?
One visit doesn't repeat the CA mistake, plus he'll probably combine it with PA. Edwards in Maryland, Bush in NJ, it's our map right now folks, it's our map.
Wahoooo. Southern New Jersey is already Bush country. This will cinch it. New Jersey is a swing state. Who'd have thunk it. I'm off to go get tickets.
Excellent news! Cheney was there recently and he said NJ is in play. I am glad Bush is going there.
Spoke to a female lawyer the other day who is working as a poll watcher for the GOP on election day. She said she was very impressed with the ground game the GOP has in OH. She couldn't believe we were doing what we are doing: 10,000 calls in one day! Three million personal contacts during the 72-hour period.
They won't.
If he's there, then he really thinks he can win it.
Definitely a good move. This past week I've seen lots of Bush yard signs going up.
By announcing that we were within striking distance of CA, didn't Bush force Gore to spend the last day in CA instead of FL?
The other mistake that Rove has already admitted was taking the final weekend off. That won't be repeated again either.
MI and NJ should be "safe" Democrat states. The fact that Kerry is there says a lot.
CAN YOU FEEL THE MOJO??!!! Woohooooooo...those stupid bastard mediapimps thought sKerry won last night, yeah sure like a cut out, But our W had HEART!! FOLKS, I'M SO THRILLED....PRAISE GOD!!!
I have a few friends that live in NJ and they are definitely Bush supporters!

Yes. Let's not repeat that same mistake. Dubya has to campaign hard through election day. I remember Gore campaigning Tuesday morning in New Mexico I believe on a radio station or television interview. I wonder if something like that gave him the 366 vote margin there. We will not lose for a lack of effort. I'll be sleepless doing my part.
Signs for rally:
"Annoy the French: Vote Bush"
"Kerry: You Windsurf, We'll Protect The Country"
"Fix The Deficit: Have Teresa Write A Check"
"Vote Bush: Charlie Don't Windsurf"
I suspect the Bush campaign's polling numbers are telling them a slightly different story than the MSM's.
If Bush is going to Jersey, he believes he can win it.
Several weeks ago, while making phone calls for the campaign, I chatted with a lady whose son was active in the Maryland GOP. She told me then to watch Maryland - it was closer than many thought.
But I'll really believe it when Bush goes somewhere in Maryland besides Andrews AFB. :-)
NJ would be nice, but we don't need it and there is no way this visit will force the RATs to spend money there.
