Thinking About NJ’s Presidential Primary
Just out of curiosity, how relevant has New Jersey been in this year’s presidential primary?
The question comes from Senate president Dick Codey’s desire to move the primary from June to early February. His stated reason was to make New Jersey more relevant in national politics.
Codey got his way. New Jersey bumped up its primary four months. How relevant were we?
Governor Corzine endorsed Hillary Clinton. There was an Obama rally, but other than that, little/no campaigning was done here.
New Jersey is considered the most liberal state in the nation. The GOP candidates did not spend in this market. McCain had an advertisement out of Philly that showed here for a day or two, but no campaigning took place.
Mr. Codey, how relevant are we?
