While everyone else is focusing on Virginia . . .

. . . I find the state of my birth to be far more interesting (Rasmussen, emphasis added):

John McCain holds statistically insignificant leads over both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in New Jersey. It’s McCain 45%, Clinton 42% and McCain 46%, Obama 45%. This reflects a significant change from a month ago when Clinton held a double-digit lead over McCain.

The last time a Republican presidential candidate carried New Jersey, Reagan was in the White House, I was in high school, and Stan Parris was still a Congressman (he was elected to his last term that same day – November 7, 1988).

Now, we are still in the spring, and November is a long way away, but if New Jersey is competitive at all, we’re in for a wild ride.
