New Jersey indeed has a frustrating small-but-overly-vocal brigade of pissed off superconservatives. They're not mainstream conservatives, but a unique breed to New Jersey—those of you who know Scott Garrett's record know what I'm talking about. Local pundits know them as the "Mountain Men," precisely because they are almost uniformly male and come from just a handful of counties in the (relatively) mountainous, safely Republican areas of Northern New Jersey. They care about fiscal issues way more than social ones, though they're still vehemently anti-abortion and gay rights. Pat Toomey would fit in well with them.
Reminds me of certain Republicans here.
