Being from New Jersey, gun control was a part of it. We've had some pretty unpopular Democratic politicians too, I'm not sure if that may have played a role in the 2004 and 2008 results.

Also, I just think that New Jersey's Democratic-ness has been maxed out. We are a leftist, but not extremely leftist state politically. The 2000 results (Plus the fact that we kept re-electing not so great Democratic politicians Tongue) made NJ seem more Democratic than we really were.

I guess Obama underperformed and that Hillary would have done better.

In northern NJ, yes. In liberal areas and areas with poor African Americans, no. In southern NJ, it would be about the same.

Overall, I think the results would have been about the same if it was Hillary vs McCain.
