Relevancy

Who would have thunk it?  Xpatriated Texan agrees with me.

And, just to make it more relevant, ten of our twenty super-delegates have publicly declared for the struggling Hillary Cliinton campaign.  With polls showing that HRC maintains at least a fifteen point lead over her nearest challenger - well, let’s just say we have been fortunate that being stuck between NYC and Philly gives candidates an easy way to make a campaign stops between airports.

You want to know something that will make you sick?  We would have been better off if we hadn’t moved our primary at all.

New Jersey leaped-frogged its presidential primary this year, along with a lot of other states.  The charge was led by Senate President Dick Codey in an effort to make New Jersey relevant in the national election.

Of course, the second part of relevance came up recently when New Jersey passed legislation that will disregard New Jersey’s voters’ choices.  Rather than obligate the Electoral College to vote the way New Jerseyans vote, if enough other states sign on to this God-forsaken law, our electors will cast New Jersey’s ballots for the candidate who wins the popular vote nationally.

Being relevant in the Garden State means watching how everyone else votes.  Hasn’t this worked out well for us?
