“...Well, actually not exactly Newark but a town just on it’s western border (Irvington). Haven’t lived there for decades...”
You can count your blessings. You need body armor to visit there now.
Re Patterson and Clifton NJ in toe 30’s and 60’s, if you look at the demographics now, you’ll understand how the vote falls.
“Frank Sinatra voted for obama during the last election.”
That is true. Exit polling showed that Obama received 107% of the deceased vote.
Not from NJ and I haven’t been there in YEARS, but what is the treatment of absentee ballots? Anyone know what percentage of votes have already been cast? ACORN may not need the buses if they have stuffed the ballot boxes with improper absentee ballots.
Not in Newark.
G Gordon Liddy grew up in Hoboken as well.
“Well, actually not exactly Newark but a town just on it’s western border (Irvington). Haven’t lived there for decades but I can tell you, it ain’t what it used to be.”
You aint kiddin. I wonder what Irvington’s most famous son Jerry Lewis thinks of his old home town?
"Take My Word For It" is the new norm.
As hard as it is to believe East Orange used to be the home of serious high society back in the 20’s and 30’s.
"TRUST US"
LOL!
The only truly good news will be Corzine’s concession speech. Until then, tons of Dem votes can arrive on wings of pixie dust.
Don’t bet on anything in Jersey. Corzine has big union and Acorn support. Dirty tricks galore. Christy, a former US Atty. may be up for the fight.
My NJ story: in the early 70s I flew into Newark to visit my uncle’s family in Northern NJ, just across the GW bridge from Manhattan. It seemed like the last several miles of approach to the airport was all over auto junk yards. I wondered what the state was all about. One of the highlights was a trip to Jahn’s for ice cream.....

Well geez, did ayone ever consider that these people are at work? Oh wait...
Not too many of the Democrats unless you count a job with ACORN as gainful employment. :)
In the 60s-80s, I had to take my car to the Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne for shipment to Europe and the Middle East. Had to go through Hoboken. In both Bayonne and Hoboken there was an overwhelming sense of corruption. DO NOT RPT DO NOT leave anything in your car there if you ever expect to see it again.
I understood exactly what you meant.
There are quite a few thousand folks in a cemetery in Throg's Neck who'll end up voting for Corzine as well.
I hope it won't be enough.
You wouldn’t recognize Hoboken now. It has been yuppified; and that is a good thing compared to what it used to be. You need to have a pretty high cash flow to live there now.
