2009 New Jersey Governor's Race

[Ronnie]

I like this guy.  Not just from this video, but in general.

[Ronnie]

Why does www.TimKaine.com redirect to Lonegan's campaign website?

LOL, amazing.

How do people discover this crap?

[Ronnie]

 Yay!! Christie wins.

[Ronnie]

The question is whether he is more or less of a slimebag than Corzine.

[Ronnie]

Rasmussen

Christie: 46%
Corzine: 39%

LEANERS:

Christie: 53%
Corzine: 41%

I'm just excited as to how the county map will look like.

If Christie wins, does he actually have a chance at winning Middlesex and Passaic counties?  Also, I'm assuming that he will win all of the southern NJ counties except Camden.

If Christie wins, in South Jersey he will most likely win Cape May, Atlantic, Salem, and Burlington. I think Corzine will probably carry Cumberland and Camden.

Cumberland is a tossup.  Both Kerry and Obama barely outperformed their statewide numbers in the county.

As for Northern New Jersey, Christie should carry Bergen county comfortably, but the question is if he will carry Middlesex and Passaic counties.

Yeah!!!

C'mon Christie, bring it home!

Keystone, stop being Eeyore.   Obviously it isn't over and we acknowledge that.

[Ronnie]

I searched back a few pages, and it seems as if a couple of people are over-the-top, but there's nothing wrong with a little optimism.  In fact, we really need some nowadays!  If they are wrong, they are wrong; but there's no need to get worked up about it.

[Ronnie]

I'm a little worried about the Obama rally for Corzine on the 16th.  It should give him a small bounce.

Also, why can't I find a tab labeled "EVENTS" on Christie's website?  If he doesn't have any rallies, how is he going to generate support/enthusiasm?

Optimism is great. Saying it's over isn't great.

I doubt that they actually think it's over.  I'm thinking it's more of a wishful thinking mentality.

[Ronnie]

WTF???  Chris Christie has just released a statement in support of the confirmation of Sodomizer.  This is disgraceful and I am seriously considering changing my support to Daggett

Who cares? He doesn't have a vote, and she's going to be confirmed with 80+ votes anyway. And this guy has argued in front of judges many times, he knows what a qualified judge is.

And he also says SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIS CHOICE. Stop being such a far-right nut.

I am entitled to momentary rage

If it was so "momentary", why do you have a signature thing supporting Daggett?

[Ronnie]

Strategic Vision:

Christie (R): 53%
Corzine (D): 38%
Daggett (I): 5%

(official numbers will be released later)

Go Christie!!!  Every good poll helps.

[Ronnie]

It may be a good pick politically, but it stinks when you boil it down to this: When the governor dies, do you want him to be replaced by the sheriff of Monmouth County?

Yeah, hum.

Thankfully, she doesn't seem to be hurting Christie.

[Ronnie]

hahaha

[Ronnie]

Corzine picks Weinberg.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/corzine_picks_sen_loretta_wein.html

I'm now voting for Corzine. So at least he has that going for him. I'm pretty unabashed in my idolization of Loretta Weinberg.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were the only person in the state whose vote has changed because of this.

You should be supporting the best politician in the whole goddamned country for Lt. Gov. of New Jersey, too

What's so special about her?  I would really like to know.

[Ronnie]

PPP's New Jersey poll today will show that only 64% of Democrats back Corzine.

You know what that means: Something like 54-38 overall ...

Yum!

It's 50–36, so we're up to a 14-point Christie lead.

Christie has a 54-26 lead among independents.

Pretty good lead.

I wonder how close it will get.  The county map will be a joke if Christie actually wins by 14 points.

[Ronnie]

Doesn't it seem fishy that Christie is doing better with Hispanics than he is doing overall statewide?

[Ronnie]

Any chance Christie breaks 60 in Bergen?

[Ronnie]

This is a 53-45 Christie win...



I made Cumberland and Middlesex >40  because I have no idea how those counties would go in a 53-45 scenario...

[Ronnie]

Based on what?  I think Passaic would go Christie under this scenario

Verily says that it is too polarized to switch...

[Ronnie]

Corzine is really in desperation mode:

Looking at these pictures (and my prior meetings with Christie) have inspried this

Pick the higher:

Percentage points Christie wins
Amount of donuts Christie will eat in celebration
Percentage points higher body fat Christie has than Corzine

[Ronnie]

CORZINE-MENTUM

Christie: 48%
Corzine: 40%
