New Jersey: needs help

[magid]

The five state slogans still in the running are

1. "New Jersey: Love at First Sight"
   
2. "New Jersey: The Real Deal"
   
3. "New Jersey: Come See for Yourself"
   
4. "New Jersey: Expect the Unexpected"
   
5. "New Jersey: The Best Kept Secret"

They all lead to questions (What secrets? Is it possible to expect the right unexpected (whatever that is)? etc.). And they're all bland, though that may be a function of trying to come up with a state slogan these days.

Wow. These are definitely... options.

"New Jersey: Love at First Sight"

Come on. We've all been there. Who are they kidding?

"New Jersey: The Real Deal"

The Real Deal? Wasn't that a John Kerry slogan? We all know how well that turned out...

"New Jersey: Come See for Yourself"

This is a bit more honest than #1. There are no promises: just a pragmatic suggestion. You don't believe me? Come see for yourself!

"New Jersey: Expect the Unexpected"

And I think we do. We certainly do. (http://www.weirdnj.com/)

"New Jersey: The Best Kept Secret"

No, I think that would have to be Delaware. Or Montana. (What do they do in Delaware and Montana, anyways? Does anybody know?)

Critiquingly,

I think the best kept secret might be one of the Dakotas. Delaware has all those virtual corporations and credit card companies, while Montana has people vacationing to look at their sky. Or something like that.
