Most Impressive statewide landslides

[hopper]

I've always considered Tom Kean's 1985 landslide victory to be the one against which all other are measured. He won 71% to 24%, carrying virtually every town in New Jersey, including Newark, Camden, and Jersey City. His margin of victory was so large, in fact, that he swept in 4 Republican Assemblymen in heavily Democratic, heavily urban Hudson County (Jersey City, Union City, Hoboken).

Yeah Kean won 60% of the urban vote in that Election. It would be impossible for a Republican to win a state or a US House Seat in Hudson County nowadays. Kean's Governor's Race  in 1981 against Jim Florio was close though. I would like to see a map of the 1981 Race but thats not on this site.

Here, I made one myself using the data from this site.

Wow Kean carried Union County. Republicans can't compete there anymore county wide even though a piece of NJ Congressional District 7 represented by Lenoard Lance(R) has towns that are in Union County.
