Today was the deadline set by the chairman because he wanted it done before Christmas. Word is that the finished map could be out tomorrow morning.

The vote is at 10 AM tomorrow. I'll be in attendance for the drama.  Smiley

NJ 2 is now a Republican district. Wink

Runyan must have gotten Republican areas that they weren't expecting. Someone gasped as the map was revealed, "Oh my God. Look at the 3rd!"

Former Speaker Roberts (D) admits that Garrett has the advantage in the Garrett-Rothman race and Runyan's district is less competitive than before (despite the Chairman's assertion that both districts are competitive).

I jumped the gun a bit but it should actually be totally even.

And even adjusting for the 2010 numbers, Runyan only won it by 5 points in a heavily GOP year.

He was running as an untested Football player, not an incumbent Congressman, against someone with a moderate reputation.

Aren't their D legislators along the Delaware River? Again, not that legislators have a track record of unseating Congressmen in NJ.


In NJ 3? Yes, there are two of them. Neither of them would beat Runyan.
