Residents of New Jersey and New York are up in arms over who will claim MTVs GTL-ing bunch.

Earlier this month, aQuinnipiac University pollsurveyed people about the show, and 51 percent had an unfavorable opinion.

But far more interesting are the politics surrounding the debate.

(And no, Im not talking about the continuing love affair betweenSnooki and John McCain.)

Anyway, not to be outdone, New York Gov.

David Paterson blamed the environment of the Jersey Shore for the seedy reputation.

Christie, and 19 percent agree with Gov.

No opinion on theJersey Shore?

Anyway, I think its important to point out that only 1,190 people actually participated in this poll.

In terms of actual New Jersey population, thats not even a drop in the bucket.

I can probably name 1,190 who LOVE watchingJersey Shore.

(Okay, youre right.

But I can at least name 20.)

And the shows high ratings seem to make the whole debate moot.

(Or moo if youre a Friends fan.)

Your turn to take on the debate.

Are you Team Christie, Team Paterson, or Team I Just Like To WatchJersey Shore, like me?
