Who is kidding  who on both of these states.  Both are loaded with government jobs, with civil service employees.   As such they have  overall Federal Union in civil service,  and then  separate unions for teachers, firemen, police,  office workers, and  they vote democratic.     Had  NJ girl married to my grandson,    but he voted Republican, and she voted democrat.   They divorced, when she became  a lawyer, and worked with  Democratic attorneys, wearing  suits and  tuxedos,    while he was pilot, and wore  casual clothing and attended informal, causal wear  affairs. .    From  western offices,  she is in Washington area now,  to mix with  like minded and  thought types.  
----- I did not  expect  any different outcome  in both states.   Vote against  Christie in NJ,    and   Gillepie led  for long time  in early reporting, but  then the  heavy votes of city  unions came in.    So I am not discouraged, by these two states.  Expected it.
