Things are looking bad for Corzine

More bad news (4.00 / 2)

With more than a third of the vote counted, Corzine is trailing 52-42.

However, Daggett is only at 5% which indicates that either these are not Republican areas reporting or Republicans are breaking for Christie.

Also, the open space ballot question -- which is effing hippy environmentalism and will raise taxes -- is winning 52-48 with the same population.  That indicates open spacers (often liberal) are not backing Corzine.

However, as someone noted earlier, a lot of Republicans from Hunterdon and such places are pro-open space because it keeps the riff-raff away and promotes higher property values.

Sussex (0.00 / 0)

McCain won with almost 60% of the vote, Scott Garrett gets around 66% of the vote in each of the Congressional races.

What is up with that?

Sussex was reversed (0.00 / 0)

and now changed to big win for Christie.

ugh.  

Now I have to spend the next 4 years trying to dig up enough to get him investigated and step down in shame.

Scott, weren't you really pessimistic about the 07 races? (0.00 / 0)

Or something?

No offense, I'm just trying to imagine it's not over, though it is looking like Corzine can't climb above 45% and Daggett totally faded.

---

by: JRB @ Tue Nov 03, 2009 at 20:46:48 PM CST

Not that pessimistic. (0.00 / 0)

though I started getting pessimistic when I began to see the numbers in 12 (where I spent a lot of time on the ground).

The only race that really surprised me was 14, though I was also surprised that our margin was so small in 22.

It's a snap - top right of the blog, you can create a shiny new - and free - Blue Jersey account. Then you can start using it, and let us know what you've got on your mind.

makes sense (0.00 / 0)

I don't see how he could make up 100K deficit in just 29% of the precints.

In Salem County, admittedly not a lot of people, but for example, it will split fairly evenly, so there will be no meaningful gain when it reports.  Heck, I'd guess Christie wins it outright.

Be proud of what you've done and be thankful you're from NJ.

NBC NY is announcing that Corzine... (4.00 / 1)

is about to say something......

I hope it's not a concession.   Though, obviously it doesn't looks good.

Whatever happens, there will be a need for a resurgent aggressively progressive movement in NJ.  

It looks like lots of the Daggett Republicans are breaking for Christie.

It's also positively telling that Bloomberg isn't a lock after spending 100 million bucks!
