Look, I know they aren’t polling in NY/NJ right now, but my gut tells me that enraged voters will log protest votes over the incompetent government emergency response.
If that happens, and I think it will, look for NY and NJ to go RED.
NY will never go red (too many “red” voters have fled to other states in recent decades), but NJ is not out of the realm of possibility. Chris Christie won here in 2009 and still have pretty good favorability numbers, and most voters I know here have really had it with public-sector employees.
I’m wondering about NYC. What if a couple million normally dem voters just decide it’s not worth the bother? Could Romney actually win NY?
As sweet as that would be, I don't really want them to. I want a clear mandate, but not anything that can be used by liberals as an "excuse" to de-legitimize a Romney Presidency.
I’m hoping...just a hope...that the photo-op with Obammie the Commie’s guiding, caring, conciliatory hand on Christie Love’s shoulder will prove to be a big backfire.
As Newt (I think it was Newt) said, Obammie the Commie came in to act like a work horse but just got the photo-op and left, proving to have been just a show horse.
