NEW JERSEY GOING GOP?
BULLETIN: Associated Press has called the NJ Governors race for Christie at 10:07PM.
It sure looks that way. At 9:45PM with nearly 60% of the vote in, Christie is up 50% to 43% over Corzine. Daggett is polling below 6%.

UPDATE (from Dan): Everything I’m reading suggests Christie may pull this off. I’m going to be doing some number crunching in second, but here’s just one piece of encouraging news from Jim Geraghty:
This looks big: With 100 percent of precincts reported, Republican Chris Christie has won New Jersey’s Gloucester County by about 2800 votes, a county that Christie Whitman lost in her 1997 reelection bid.
UP-UPDATE (from Dan): Ok, at 7:12 PST, 10:12 PST, I concluded some number crunching based on some exit poll data and came up with Christie ending up with 49.43% of the vote. That means, if Daggett holds at 5 points, the Republican wins by a comfortable margin.
Obama carried this county by 12 percent last year.

If Christie has sufficient to beat the cheating then it is great news

Don’t get too excited yet. Remember that one of Democrats most frequent dirty tricks is to hold off reporting in the most corrupt, heavily Democratic districts until the end so that they know how many votes they need to steal the election. Then, after everyone else has already reported, they magically produce just enough ACORN-scribed ballots to win.
Sorry, to be a downer, but being from WA, I speak from experience.

Associated Press, NBC & Politico.com have all called NJ for Christie. But as I say on Twitter — I won’t believe it until Michael Barone says so.
FOX JUST CALLS IT NOW.

Trick or treat comes a few days late for Obama and Michelle.
NJ going RED a huge embarassment and opportunity for Republicans!
Obamas campaigning turns a close NJ race into another comfortable wind for the Republican.
Now can we pull Mr Hoffman over the line??

This is a 25% turnaround from last years election in NY, NJ and VA, how do you not put that at the doorstep of Obama Democrat liberal policies that the electorate has revolted against?
Comment by Gene in Pennsylvania — November 3, 2009 @ 10:25 pm - November 3, 2009
Wait a minute, can Obama turn it all around with a joint session of Congress speech on Friday?? hehe

Our only state wide elections here in Pennsylvania today was for Superior Court judges. And looking at the results it appears as though only Republicans went to the polls. If we win state wide Republican conservative judges it’s huge here!

As goes the International Olympic Committee, so goes Jorzey.
