From one of my readers in Newark:
"Figured I'd shoot you an update before the after-work rush. There has been a slight uptick in in turnout, but the biggest uptick is number of unions guys out there. The streets of Newark are crawling with people in SEIU purple shirts. They are near polling places, placing campaign lit on cars, and all the kind of stuff. Big labor is heavily invested in a Corzine win and Corzine is dependent upon them for his GOTV so it is not surprising to us that they are out there, just that it took them this long."
The Essex campaign HQ has more workers then I have ever seen before, which includes 2008 and 2005. Everyone is fired up because they heard Rudy and other GOP heavy hitters are in NJ and which never happens. PolitickerNJ reports that Newark's North Ward and the South Ward are each reporting about 4,000 votes. They quote Rep. Donald Payne, a local Democrat, as saying it should be enough for a "narrow victory."
YES!!!! And I thank God I was wrong!
Senator Kerry, would you care to try that again? ;)
