Newark or Camden/Trenton? I HAVE canvassed there.
It's easy to say - do it and shut up online. 
But I sit in my snug home in Somerville NJ with my car and six figure job.
I canNOT say that black woman to black woman to some a woman my age - barely getting by in Newark NJ. She doesn't have a car. Her job is not the job it was a few years ago if she has one. Oh - and have you seen what has happened here the past two years circa 10/31? Do you know how stressful it is to get around in the two main inner city areas of NJ post a freak severe snow storm or post Hurricane?
She's gonna look at me, and slam the door in my face after I tell her I live out in Somerville.
An even more bitter pill? I get to tell her - sorry your SNAP benefits have been cut but you know the Governor feels 10-24 MILLION Dollars spent on a 'special election' is more valuable than your children having a full stomache when they go to bed tonight.
I want you to step back and read what you wrote. Now question? How important is the minority vote to YOU as a liberal/progressive. Great - you all get your black Senator - but you can't get him FROM New Jersey without the black/hispanic/latino voters in the two major hubs. And I can't tell that voter to just 'suck it up'.
I reserve that for the rich people in Somerset and Hunterdon and Warren Counties.
