Tom Kean’s shooting off his mouth about McCain, according to PolitickerNJ.
“I don’t know whether it’s cultural, political or issue-oriented. She seems to not do well in places like New Jersey, New England and California, and very, very well when it comes to the Midwest in the south,” he said. “She probably hurts in New Jersey and helps in other states.”

Dude. No kidding. She’s from Alaska.
Kean also tried to indicate that New Jersey was somehow a state that could have been swung, implying Palin was a big reason why they lost:
“I always encourage candidates to spend as much time as they can in New Jersey, because New Jersey responds to that kind of attention. But I understand the media markets. I understand that for every dollar you spend on media in New Jersey, you can get $10 worth of media in some of the other areas,” he said. “But I live in New Jersey. I see it at as a competitive state, but only if you happen to campaign there.”
New Jersey, however, hasn’t voted for a GOP senator since 1972, a GOP governor since 1997, or a GOP presidential candidate in who knows how long.
