We do have a couple of good guys, like my congressman Scott Garrett. But even the Republicans are libs for the most part. We had a good chance a few years ago with Bret Schundler (for guv) but the state Republicans did not back him.
I remember Bret Schundler and the lack of support he got from the state GOP. The NJ pubbies are pure country club.
Republicans tend to be so gosh darned comfortable being the permanent minority.
