It's worth mentioning that Murphy was the first Democratic NJ governor to get reelected in 44 years. His margin may have been small, but he bucked a long-term trend.

Professor I agree with your account above. Republicans are likely sociologically to be less unified than Republicans. But Gottlieb's point is well taken. I especially liked this part, but it is harsh: "...You--of all people--don't want to ignore history in your analysis..." PG
There are so many tantalizing remarks I would like to make about that. Here are only a few possible ones, for Paul Gottlieb: "Paul, he loves to ignore history."

All the best
