You can add this to the growing list of “conservatives can’t win elections anymore” articles which seek to ensure a choice between two liberals in 2008.

New Jersey is a lost cause. Do we need to take advice from the dying Rockefeller RINOs there? NO! I'd just as soon tell them to go get lost.

1984. New Jersey. Ronald Reagan 60%. Walter Mondale 40%. The state’s changed but not that much. A conservative can still take every state in the Union.

“Experts” huh?

The most abused word in the English language -

Are these the global warming, poverty, Iraq war, Islam “experts” too?

Guess we’ll have to add NJ to the other 49 states that Willard will never win.

While the pundits say Rudy Giuliani has a good chance to carry New Jersey – two independent polls have him leading all of the Democratic contenders -- they say that Romney can't win a state that has gone Democratic in the last four presidential elections.

Romney, nominally somewhat more conservative than Rudy, can't win the state, but Rudy supposedly can. The state that's been a lock for Dems in the last 4 elections. What does that say about where Rudy is on the political spectrum, and thus about what Republican primary voters should or will likely think about him?

Fred is the solution to the Republicans' problems. Bush won twice without NJ, and so can Fred. I question whether Rudy can, not knowing that he dropped out of the Senate race with Hillary while far behind her (allegedly for health reasons, but I don't really believe that).

NJ suffers from a sort of battered woman syndrome. It moves from one phoney Democrat to the next, gets the same battering and disappointment, but moves on to another and thinks this one is really going to be different.

I lived most of my 60 years in NJ and am glad to be out of it. Its a lost cause.

Of course not. He is not nearly corrupt enough. ;-)

I can't wait to get out of here.

America doesn’t need a President who can win a liberal toilet like New Jersey. Sheesh.

“Experts say Romney can’t win New Jersey”

Kucinich is considered a moderate in the People’s Republic of New Jersey.

[Antoninus]

Well, I won't be voting for Mitt. He's not a conservative, therefore, he won't get my vote.

As for Rudy, what does it say about a Republican candidate if he's got a legitimate shot of winning NEW JERSEY?

Think about it...

[penowa]

What a surprise! I have news for the “experts,” BIG news - NJ is too far gone and NO Republican is going to carry it.

One of my favorite FR posts ever was from Alberta's Child...

Same with New Jersey. This state is so f#%&ed up that losing it should be a badge of honor for any candidate with a shred of integrity.
