On McCain's third visit, backers say New Jersey will be 'in play' in November

While John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, talked about the environment in Jersey City, his prominent New Jersey supporters said that his relatively frequent presence in the state was evidence that his campaign intends to put New Jersey in play in November.

State Sen. Bill Baroni, who chairs McCain's New Jersey campaign, said that the Senator's visits to the state so far - which prior to today included the Lakewood fundraiser and a rally at a Hamilton firehouse in February- prove that they're paying more than lip service to running a competitive race here.

"I have been told explicitly that New Jersey is a state that is in play. We're campaigning here, we're building a staff here, we're building an organization here," said Baroni, who noted that all the campaign stops so far have been in traditionally Democratic areas.
