November 8, 200421 yr A NJ paper decided to run an article November 5th, 3 days after the election, exploring the possibilities of GWB winning the state. :blink: I think NJ is caught in the stone age. :confused Don't they have tvs there? :plain Pollsters wonder: Is N.J. revisiting 1988? Published in the Courier News on November 5, 2004 WASHINGTON --� Fears of a terrorist strike overshadowed the Summer Olympics, the national unemployment rate was just over 5 percent, the talk of New Jersey was the governor's race still a year away, and George Bush and a Massachusetts Democrat were running for president. The year was 1988, the last time a Republican presidential candidate won New Jersey. Three times since, the Garden State has overwhelmingly chosen Democrats. But will 2004 be a 1988 replay in New Jersey? Recent polls indicate it's possible, with President Bush and Sen. John Kerry tied among likely voters. A poll taken in September 1988 also showed Vice President Bush in a dead heat with Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis. link
