New NJ Governor's Poll

[Cashcow]

I hate all three of these potential candidates, but Schundler makes Forrester and Corzine each seem like the reincarnation of Christ. If he somehow becomes out next governor, I might as well speed up my departure from this deplorable state.

Only a fool would call one university poll a sign of a dead heat.  Schundler has done consistantly better in Quinnipiac polls than in others so this confirms Forrestor by about 5-7%.

I agree and disagree. Quinnipiac is one of the best polling institutes in the area. However, I'm still stratching my head as to how anyone can close that gap in such a short amount of time. I'm still alittle worried though.

How many voters watch the primary debates? 1%? Forrester is going to win tomorrow without much trouble.

Forrester needs Conservative voters:

Ive been saying that all along.  Social conservatives are going to stay home.  They may not be the largest demographic in NJ, but in a close race they could be the deciding factor.

Or maybe they'll find an entirely new guy to steal votes!

You thought Bob Casey would be brought down by the pro-choice crowd... imagine what the ultra-pro-life nuts could do to poor Doug Forrester!

Have you decided who you will be voting for?

I will probably vote for Senator Corzine.

Corzine has demonstrated in the Senate that he is willing to protect our social freedoms and follow the precedents set by acting governor Codey. Based on the state of the NJ GOP, which has distanced itself from former governor Whitman, I do not trust Doug Forrester to do the same. I may change my mind. You never know.

In a worst-case scenario, Corzine finally destroys the NJ Democratic Party, and some moderate Republicans take command for the next few years. Not a bad deal.

Social conservatives are not going to stay home when they have a chance to beat one of the most liberal Senators in the country.

By that same logic, social liberals are not going to stay home when they have a chance to beat one of the most conservative Senators in the country, Rick Santorum.

I never said they wouldn't go to the polls but they might not go for Casey.

What would possibly bring them to believe that some third-party nut could beat Rick Santorum?

They don't believe a third party nut would beat him. It would be a very strong protest vote. Here's a situation when they see two social conservatives running and have no real choice. It's not the same as NJ. Forrester is not a RINO. Social conservatives there have a choice. He's not Schundler but he's more acceptable. Social liberals in PA aren't seeing it that way (or atleast aren't now). Do you remember all the outrage over the Dems asking Casey to run?

No, I don't really remember the outrage. I remember thousands upon thousands of social liberals cheering at the possibility of a Democratic victory.

How is Casey a social conservative? Is he just pro-life? You're always going to find a bunch of idiots voting over abortion - that's what we call NOW, and they are best left ignored.  The "liberal lobbyist pro-abortion groups" have much, much less influence on elections than you think, especially in a state like Pennsylvania.

Well then you weren't paying attention.

I am basing my information off of local liberal organizations and my contacts within the Philadelphia area. Considering the abundant liberalism in and around Philly, I'd say it's a decent sample. Everyone I know is excited about a Casey nomination - except the Republicans, of course.

Has he stated his stances on any other important issues? The Iraq War? Stem-cell research? Gay rights in general? Civil liberties (discrimination, Patriot Act, etc.)?

[Cashcow]

I have a few friends in Cherry Hill who voted for him.
