GOP will hold in District 1 & District 2.
GOP will hold in Districts 1 & District 2 even with everything working against them. Even the PRESS of ATLANTIC CITY was instructed to issue a fake poll story written by JOHN FROONJIAN 2 days prior to an election.
HOW irresponsible can the press be?
I hope JOHN FROONJIAN of the AC PRESS in ATLANTIC CITY is held accountable when he poll numbers are proven wrong on TUESDAY night.
The GOP will be elected because the DEMOCRATS have the state in a 4 BILLION DOLLAR WHOLE with the state budget!!!!!
Nick will concede by 10 pm.
By their own account, the poll that the Press "was instructed" to release (by Martians, presumably) fails to account for the following:
"Independent voters were breaking for Van Drew 2-1. Eighteen percent of poll participants said they were unaffiliated, but 47 percent of registered voters in Cape May County and 64 percent in Cumberland are independents. That swing vote may be under-represented in the poll."
This tells us all we need to know about why the Press was more definitive in their headline and their lede. The margin is actually two or three times what you see.
That hole is Asselta's, by the way...
...one of the reasons for that big hole in the budget is because your boss voted to give special interests groups huge pots of money we didn't have. It's called unfunded liabilities, conservative Republicans have slammed him for it, and it's why our children will be paying back the IOU's for his buddy's endorsements for decades to come.
