“But my house is still for sale and I’m still leaving New Jersey.”

I am going to pretend that I am a second rate Joel Kotkin. New Jersey’s future looks dim. At best, it may take a minimum of five to ten years to turn things around. Yesterday’s election results seem to indicate that a slim majority of that state’s citizens want to half heartedly give the GOP a chance. That’s not good enough. I don’t get the impression they realize the extent of their economic problems. How does John Corzine lose by about only five percentage points? This does not make a bit of sense. He should have easily been defeated by a 15-20 point margin.
