In 2012, 33 nations will compete. There will be many, perhaps most, crashes, but very few will likely be close. One that is perhaps close is the New Jersey Senate race, where Republican Joe Kyrillos is running against Republican Bob Menendez.
New Caesarian affairs
In the elections for President of New Jersey he was strongly Democratic. Obama beat McCain 57-42, Kerry Bush 53-46, Gore Bush 56-40. Obama is expected to win easily in November. One thing that has been noted about New Jersey is that it tends to vote less Democratic than it votes. It’s not clear why, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that a huge proportion of New Jerseyans commute to another state, usually New York (from northern NJ) or Pennsylvania (from southern NJ)
Statewide, both New Jersey senators are Democrats: Bob Menendez (who is running for re-election) and Frank Lautenberg. Seven of its 19 representatives in the House of Representatives are Democrats
