Strange as it may seem, that comment is actually pretty accurate. On a per-capita basis, I believe New Jersey has more registered voters with no designated party affiliation than any other state in the U.S.
A huge percentage of voters in my state,the Gay State, are "unenrolled" as well...meaning they take no Party label.
And yet,Kerry,Gore,Clinton,Kennedy,Frank,etc consistently take 65%-70%-80% of the vote in Presidential/Congressional elections and our *entire* congressional delegation (all 12 of them),our Governor and about 90% of the members of our state legislature are slimey leftist RATS.
I guess that by See BS's standards that would make Massachusetts an "independent leaning" state as well.
