Christie Wins New Jersey

Given that New Jersey is a heavily blue state, and that Obama invested more in Corzine than any of the other Democrats in the running tonight, Christie may have just won the most important race for Republicans this year.

TRENTON, N.J. – Chris Christie, an aggressive former prosecutor who racked up a perfect conviction rate in public corruption cases and became the darling of New Jersey’s Republican Party establishment, has unseated the deep-pocketed but unpopular Gov. Jon Corzine.
Christie, 47, on Tuesday became the first member of his party in a dozen years to win a statewide contest in heavily Democratic New Jersey. President Barack Obama invested heavily in the race, campaigning with Corzine five times on three separate visits.
With 75 percent of precincts reporting, Christie had 50 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for Corzine. Independent candidate Chris Daggett, who at one point had been feared as a potential spoiler, had about 5 percent.

Now let’s hope Christie governed like he campaigned.

    We are not without resources at this point, and there is a long way for Obama to go to get this passed. We have the ability to defeat Obamacare and many of the other attempts to radically disposses Americans of individual liberty our President is committed to.

    You sir or madam are more optimistic than I. Obama is intent on destroying the US dollar, hooking us up with the EU and, in short, bringing the US down. For whatever I reason I do not know. If we can hold out til next year, and the people of the US come to their senses, perhaps there is hope.

    Something is wrong there. Christie got way more absentee votes than anyone in history. I think there is some chicanery going on there.

    why not address the comment Bobbie? If the vote went the other way, you would have expressed a similar sentiment.

  • HG

    Not optopmistic, and it’s sir. I’m confident Obamacare can and after tonight, will be defeated. The electorate, especially conservatives, are far to pessimistic when it comes to these fights. America is a Center/Right nation. We have public opinion on our side.

    we need to get off our bottems, get up and get moving, the reason mo larry & currly spend so much time in dc is they are scared of us. conrads town hall meetings showed that ….. nd man child earl was too gutless to even face the people.

    show up on thursday at earls office in fargo or bismarck ……. bring him one red flower to remind him this is a red state. act respectful and deliver your message, NO TO GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE. represent ND not Nancy Pelouzy. ……… WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERANCE, BUT WE HAVE TO STAND UP AND SHOW UP

    The question is not so much the bloodshed that might occur in Nov 2010, it’s how much bloodshed will occur between then and now to our personal liberty. I do believe Obama is hell-bent on turning the US into a socialist state, with the government controlling everything. If that happens, the elections of 2010 will be moot.

    Fine. But what do you mean when you call me a “sock puppet”?

    A big win for Republicans in NJ. Chris showed that he was going to make this a race in the beginning. As for national implications/Obama, I could care less. The people of the state wanted change in the state, and they got it.

  • ec99

    Before too much is extrapolated from this, bear in mind that the people of NJ couldn’t stand Corzine. My daughter and son in law live there and, although this is anecdotal, anyone earning a salary got screwed with his tax policy. Don’t use this as a sign of disagreement with Obama there, as, say, VA. Corzine was just disliked.

  • sayanything-8606

    While Corzine was having his ass handed to him, Obama was watching basketball(yea right). Lying sack of schitt.

  • HG

    I don’t mind a bit if dems convince themselves Obama and his radical far left policies have little or nothing to do with these conservative wins. The more they continue this anti-liberty underhanded baffoonery, the larger the revolt in 2010.

    You should try posting serious comments instead of being some poseur
    anonymous troll.

    The free lunch bunch won’t like this news!

  • sayanything-101

    What a waste of money for Corzine. Power is as addictive a drugs!

  • sayanything-16585

    well it’s mean he’s got people confidence.

    Why don’t you just post all your comments under the same nickname?

    I don’t mind anonymity, but quit being a sock puppet. The IP addresses are
    all the same. You’re not fooling anyone, idiot.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    Could be. For what it’s worth, this is the 8th New Jersey governor in 9
    years.

    As I said in another post, the Republicans who won tonight need to now earn
    those victories.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    You’re posting under a number of different names pretending you’re different
    people.

    If you want to come here and mock conservatives and be a liberal that’s
    fine. Just do it under one consistent name.

    They are just following the Obama script for their robots.
