NJ- Rasmussen: Obama Slightly Favored

[The Mikado]

Come on, GOP, you can win NJ.  You just know it.  Put a lot of money into it.  Go for it.

(As none other than Keystone Phil once said, NJ is the ultimate Republican fool's gold.  I don't even know what the Democratic equivalent would be...Georgia?)

[The Mikado]

That's pretty much what I meant.  A state where the "underdog" party has a reliable chance of comfortably placing in the, say, 44%-47% range and making a respectable showing, but cannot quite pass the finish line because the remaining 3% or so of the vote they'd need is almost impossible to get.  It looks frustratingly, tantalizingly close, but that last bit is all uphill.

I still say that NJ for GOP, GA for Dems is a pretty good set.
