I can't feel sorry for conservatives around the country always complaining about Democrats registering dead people to vote ... they have so much control here in NJ, they don't just get registered - they show up!
DEPTFORD, N.J., June 6 (UPI) -- A firefighter found the body of a woman killed by a shot to the head Tuesday behind a New Jersey firehouse being used as a polling place.
The body was found at about 9:30 a.m. by a firefighter doing a routine check on the grounds. The polling place for New Jersey's primary was moved after the discovery and the firehouse cordoned off.
Oh well. Probably another Democrat landslide. Shame.
In real election news, Kean won the Republican primary in NJ and California Conservative is live blogging out west.
Tom Kean Jr., the son of a popular former governor, easily won the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez in the fall as eight states held primaries on Tuesday for governor, House or Senate.
In Alabama, Gov. Bob Riley led Ten Commandments judge Roy Moore in early returns for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. In the Democratic primary, Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley led former Gov. Don Siegelman, who spent election day on trial on corruption charges.
Alabama returns also showed overwhelming approval for a state constitutional ban on gay marriage.

Show of hands... who's surprised?
Luckily it will fail in Congress.
I've gotta question for social conservatives... actually several.
1] if "marriage is for making a family" then why do you [seem to] have no problem with post-menopausal grannies getting married to impotent grampas in the nursing home? 1a] why do you [seem to] have no problem with a het-couple choosing not to have kids? or adopting in lieu of having kids? If "marriage is for making a family" as many of you aver, then wouldn't it be practically required under this ideology to procreate?
2] if marriage is an institution that creates and maintains social stability as many others of you assert [and which there is loads, heaps and oodles of evidence to support], then wouldn't you want as many people getting married as possible, no matter who they were? It would add a fractional amount of social stability to our society, and that would be a good thing... right?
3] since homosexuals are about 2% of the adult [human] population, and this figure is fairly consistent across social structures [i.e., more liberal societies do not have a remarkably higher incidence of homosexuality than more ... um ... tight-assed societies], you are literally talking about 1-in-50 potential marriages. That's not an awful lot, and it's not a disease -- do you actually think you're going to "catch" homosexuality?
that'll do for now.
