Look at the blue areas on the map of New Jersey. Those urban areas are where the Democrats harvest nearly all of their votes in a statewide election.
The New York metropolitan area and the greater Philadelphia area are prime. You can see the huge blue spill from New York in particular. It's these urban areas and the corridor that runs from Philly to New York that are the main generators of Democrat votes. In fact, in Newark, Camden and Trenton 90 percent of the vote (or more!) was cast for the Democrat, Sherrill. The figure's are mind-boggling.
This is why New Jersey is so blue and why it's so hard for Republicans to make inroads statewide. As we've noted before, the GOP has a very steep hill to climg and it runs from Camden all the way up to Newark and Jersey City and Hoboken.
