  • New Jersey has fourteen electoral votes. New Jersey is second only to Rhode Island in having more electoral votes per square mile than any other state. The state has voted blue for the past five presidential elections and had voted red for eight out of the ten before. Obama defeated McCain 57% to 42% in 2008.
In current news, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Harry Alford, has recently made public his opinion of the business positions Democrats have assumed. Today on Laura Ingraham’s radio talk show Alford was quoted saying, “Obama wanted the National Black Chamber to dance to his music and have blind allegiance to his crazy programs and agenda, which are totally anti-business. We are a pro-business organization. So we have to stand on the side of business, and the benefit of our members, which are black entrepreneurs.”

Referring to Obama and his administration as “Marxist” and “fanatical”, Alford expressed regret in having voted for Barack Obama only “because he’s black”.

“That is a lesson I will take to my grave,” he said, followed by a claim that Obama is “wrecking” the country and is “dangerous”.
