New Jersey: Battleground State


The northeastern suburbs -- called the Soprano Tundra is shaded blue. It is famous for housing Giants Stadium, the burial ground of Jimmy Hoffa.
.
The central section -- The Toxic Avenger Plateau -- is yellow because the people are yellow. They are too scared to declare for either side.
.
The Red state area -- East Stroudsbugh -- is controlled by Philly warlords.
.
I say, concede Jersey City... let's just hold on to Irvington.
.
That's where John sings his Broadway show tunes.

Middlesex County should be blue, fyi.

Yes, Middlesex is without a doubt entirely Yankees-Mets territory. Don't disgrace my hometown county with the notion we're anything less than true blue.

Not accurate. Middlesex should be blue. Ocean should be blue up top and yellow at the bottom.

I don't think anyone has ever strung together the words "let's just hold on to Irvington" before.

The times just did a story on this, anyway:

I see everyone else made the same comment but it MUST be changed...Middlesex is BLUE.

I also think, but I'm not sure, that Camden county is probably red too. But that's not a bad loss for us really.

Are you conceding Jersey City or Camden because Alphonso spends time there?
