All good points, Jay. I too, am from Gloucester County and the Democrat machine down here is in full swing. Senator Sweeney runs the show (along with with a guy named Norcross) The town of Westville elected three independents that were against using eminent domain. After being elected two become pro eminent domain Democrats, one actually stuck to his guns and was either driven out or quit. Ballot acces in this area is not impossible for a Lbiertarian (I did it in '05) but at this point, getting elected probably is. We would need to come up with a serious fundraising and volunteer campaign to come up with anything. Last I checked, the Democratic Assemblypersons had $350,000 sitting around waiting to crush the next challenger. The County parties of the area could have ten times that to throw around. I think I spent $500 on my Assembly campaign and recieved no money from the NJLP to get around 2% of the vote. The Green Party has polled as high as 12% in this area. A 3rd Party does have a chance, we just have to get organized, serious, and recruit ALOT more people to help out.
