SPRINGFIELD – At the Union County Central Labor Council’s headquarters this afternoon, Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan told about 100 union members getting ready to canvass for Assemblywoman Linda Stender’s congressional bid that turnout was high in Democratic areas of the 7th District, but that it was also high in the traditionally Republican counties of Somerset and Hunterdon.
“Our tracks around the state and our tracks around this district show that our folks are coming out to vote, but you know what? Theirs are too. What you’re going to do over the next few hours are going to make the difference.”
Speaking to PolitickerNJ.com before the rally, Cryan talked up Gov. Corzine, saying that he was the person most responsible for what is likely to be a victory for Barack Obama in New Jersey, and U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg.
“Remember, the real eye on the prize, no matter what anyone else says, is winning Barack Obama and Frank Lautenberg. Seven weeks ago, which I hope you guys remember tonight, people were calling this a referendum on the Governor. Quinnipiac had this race at Obama up by 3, and the Democratic Party in trouble in this state and a referendum on the Governor and yada yada yada,” he said. “I think there’s no question that the Governor is responsible for the leadership of the party in this state, and delivering tonight is a real referendum on him.”
