Screw you, New Jersey. I'm loaning my lawyers to Corzine!

In the see-saw New Jersey Governor's race, Republican challenger Christopher Christie has 42 percent to Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine's 40 points, with 12 percent for independent candidate Christopher Daggett, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Six percent remain undecided.
This compares to a 43 - 38 percent Gov. Corzine lead, with 13 percent for Daggett, in an October 28 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
Among Daggett supporters, 38 percent say they might change their mind: 39 percent say Corzine is their second choice, while 29 percent say Christie is number two.
Only 10 percent of Christie voters and 13 percent of Corzine backers say they might change their mind.
Corzine leads 77 - 6 percent among Democratic likely voters, with 12 percent for Daggett. Christie leads 78 - 10 percent among Republicans, with 9 percent for Daggett, and 47 - 32 percent among independent voters, with 17 percent for Daggett.
"Daggett is the key to an incredibly close New Jersey election," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
From October 27 - November 1, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,533 New Jersey likely voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.

That’s a seven point swing to Christie in this poll over the past 3 days—encouraging.
That’s close enough for the Rats to wrap it up with fake votes.
Looks like the independents may be breaking Christie’s way.
It’s still too close. The Rats can steal 2 points.
The endless recounts will begin as soon as the polls close!
In NJ, especially. They could do it in their sleep.
Christie’s lead among independents is huge. Or at least it was in some other poll I saw from the weekend. Something like 55-29. This ought to mean victory but who knows. We can only hope Repub. turnout is high while Dems, without their great leader on the ballot, will not be moved to vote. Many analysts who don’t like conservatives always say the GOP should nominate moderates who appeal to the independent swing voters. Looks like that is just what they did this year in NJ but it still is not enough to guarantee victory.
PPP, the Democrat tracking poll, has Christie by 6, which may be enough to overcome Jersey's margin of fraud. Not that Christie is is a particularly good candidate but "ABC" (Anyone But Corzine) will definitely pull more votes than Corzine, and Christie may well manage to pull this off.
We’ll see if zero’s visit to Newark and Camden yesterday to fie up the ACORN base has any effect.
Dagget is a plant...that’s it. I don’t care if Christie was up 12 points over Corslime, the Commies would find a way to keep this dictator in there!!
I hate my state!!!
I agree. In NJ, Christie needs to win by at least 8 points to make sure he actually *wins.* It’s going to be all about turnout.
But I think the democrats are going to keep this one.:/
Looks to me more as if Quinnipiac is doing a bit of last-minute window dressing, hoping to get the final call on the winning side. They had been something of an outlier, showing a Corzine lead recently. But only the final call is remembered when polling groups are analyzed for their accuracy.
I would really like to believe that NJ voters are holding their cards close to their chest on this one because they are afraid of the election being stolen. I would dearly love to see a Christie explosion at the polls on Tuesday so overwhelming they are shellshocked when they realize they didn’t waken enough dead voters.
obama and corzine were at a rally in NJ yesterday. They were BOTH angry and nasty. Talking about mopping up the mess. Couldn’t watch more than a minute. Obama had his best black voice on and both of them were still bashing Bush. Corzine is such a dirt bag and zero is a first class cowardly punk.
The walking around money should have hits the streets of Newark and Trenton.
You forgot Camden.
I hope this is true cause it because it be a huge slap in the face of Dear Reader’s regime but NJ is a tease. It promises and promises and promises the Right it has a chance then on election night always goes left.
If I were in there, I don’t see how I’d pull the lever for Corzine. It would be anybody but Corzine. The idea of another 6 years with that guy, must be unsettling. What are these people thinking?
Sorry!
I think Rasmussen is more accurate. What does Rasmussen say?
I am gonna do a Joe Scarborough on you and ask you how much you wanna bet on that.
Rasmussen says this, and I think it’s why he’s the most accurate:
“Christie leads by seven points among those who are certain they will show up and vote.”—Rasmussen
Christie had a rally in Monmouth County yesterday. His best sound byte:
“10 years ago Corzine’s partners at Goldman Sachs fired him and on Tuesday NJ is going to fire him”.
Did Quinnipiac include in their poll data dead people who will be voting for Corzine?
Only 8.2% off!
They are sending Biden to NY-23 b/c they believe that Corzine is going to lose in NJ, and they have to salvage something. If anyone lives near NY-23, go and help. The RATS are bussing in liberals from VT.
What would Julius Caesar do in Afghanistan?
As long as it’s within the margin of error never underestimate the Democrats ability to manufacture a win. I’ll be plesantly surprised if Christie wins on Tuesday but I’m not expecting it.
Yes, but those were under good economic times. Corzine is Florio II and he is going to lose.
Kill the leaders, sell the rest as slaves.
In a race this close watch for the Black Panthers, ACORN, SEIU and the Tide to roll in.
Yep. He still hasn't taken his toll plan off the table. It currently costs $20 in tolls to drive from NJ into Manhattan. Now he wants to put tolls on NJ-to-PA roads.
The “I Don't Take No Responsibility For Nuthin’” Narcissist in Chief, is going to find out soon enough that the old “it's Bush's fault” whine, has long ago stopped being effective. Voters know BS when they see one. All the polls since 0bozo’s spate of campaign stops with Corzine, have Christie ‘s numbers going UP. 0bozo could soon become electoral poison for the Democrats, if it turns out they can't even hold a true blue state like New Jersey.
Particularly in Camden which has a lot of Philly influence. The BP's are very active in Philly.
They could do it in any form of unconsciousness: sleep, coma, hibernation, trance and expired.
Friday, October 30:
Rasmussen Reports
Christie 46, Corzine 43, Daggett 8 Christie +3
This is New Jersey
Subtract five points for cheating,
And Get Out The Vote!
Screw you, New Jersey. I'm loaning my lawyers to Corzine!
Popular columnist Eleanor Clift said on ‘’TThe McLaughlin Group’’ over the weekend that the GOP will win in VA but lose in NJ. She seemed confident.
People in NJ will and have sacrificed a lot to keep Democrats in the driver’s seat!
I got about ten Get Out The Vote calls over the weekend. The GOP is calling everybody in the state, it seems. Hopefully it will work.
The poor in NJ believe that a rich but “compassionate” Corzine is on “their side”.
That kind of desperate crap ticks me off. If Christie and/or Hoffman should lose I will still consider it a win for us. We don't have to bus people in and pay people off to get elected.
What has been the reporting on early voting in NJ? I’ll never forget Obama and his bunch haranguing their supporters to get to the polls early and bring everyone they knew. I firmly believe that lots of fraud occurred during early voting in 2008 and that’s how Obama won states like NC. Are the same shenanigans going on now in NJ?
I would think that 10 percent of the Obama base won’t show up becasue they won’t know when the electon is.
You can leave Jersey,
But it is gonna cost you...
Getting back is free!
In its post-Helms era, NC is overrun by illegals and Yankees.
I would love to be wrong, but I think this is all to just project the illusion that NJ serfs have a democratic process, but in reality this race is already over. NJ is bought and paid for; this is only about a renegotiation of the ultimate price and how openly the Democrats need to commit fraud.
It was a compliant, complicit, ACORN-installed secretary of state that installed "Senator" Franken.
That pic, by the way, reminds me of this one:
