One thing I never understood: Why does Chris Smith keep getting elected? He's basically a moderate Democrat except he's an extreme pro-life zealot, which strikes me as a terrible fit for anywhere in NJ.

I'm not really sure, but I imagine that it's a really Catholic district, which wouldn't make him such a bad fit after all.  Glancing at the counties in the district in Wikipedia, it seems Italian and Irish are the top two plurality ancestries, with a fair amount of Germans and Poles
