TRENTON, N.J. – Republican Chris Christie has defeated Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey.

With 71 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, Christie had 50 percent of the vote to Corzine's 44 percent.

Christie, a 47-year-old former federal prosecutor, became the first member of his party in a dozen years to win a statewide contest in heavily Democratic New Jersey.

The Republican victory deals a blow to President Barack Obama as he readies for next year's midterm elections. Obama campaigned heavily for Corzine.

Way to go, fatboy!!!

Bye-bye Corslime!

[PhiKapMom]

AWESOME!!!! I thought the way Rove talked that Christie was going to win this race. Corzine going down made my year!

[Spktyr]

Apparently not close enough to fraudulate the elections.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Pity the poor bearded billionaire.

Now he’ll have to go back to ruining his golf game instead of a whole state.

[VanDeKoik]

Hot diggity!!!

Thanksgiving and Christmas have come early. Thank You voters in New Jersey and Virginia.

[Sister_T]

GREAT NEWS!!!

[laconic]

Star-Ledger just put a check next to Christie’s name on their election returns board. Hopefully, he will be much better than the last Republican governor of NJ, Bush friend Christie Whitman. I think he will.

[Tamatoa]

What else can I say... Obama is a nobama..

[thecraw]

Bye bye Corzine, you leftist putz!

[eyedigress]

Rove just released some big numbers. Conservatives voted unlike 2008. 300% increases in some counties. It may be enough to take care of the fraud.

[Uncle Miltie]

Crushed ‘em!!!

F You 0bama!

[A_Former_Democrat]

C’MON CHRIS, BLOW THE BASTARD OUT

[SunkenCiv]

Of course, none of the so-called news shows will cover this, apart from Fox.

[SouthTexas]

Two down, many, many more to go.

[JPJones]

550 lbs bump!

[Salvation]

WooHoo! Sure hope this is true.

[Clintonfatigued]

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS, and a real middle finger to the Obama Administration and the DemocRAT Party!!!!

[Jeff Head]

Hehehe...how 'bout them apples, Barry?

Marxist chickens...coing home to roost!

Take that and your Cracker Jack Peace Prize and see what that will get you.

OBAMA TAKES POSSESSION OF HIS PEACE PRIZE

OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE

[blam]

Do I remember correctly that Corzine spent $60 million (of his own money) to get elected?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Good thing Obama isn’t following the elections, he’d be feeling pretty sick right about now.

[vikingd00d]

[Psalm 144]

550 lbs bump!

FAT! FAT! FAT IS WHERE IT’S AT!

[SE Mom]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THIS is a SHOCKER!!

[eyedigress]

I don’t have a breakdown but Rove said it was 30 to 11 as far as the money and 5 visits from Obummer.

[isom35]

yet stupid cnn and msnbc say “dead heat”. If the final tally is 50 to 44 percent, does that mean they tied?

[NormsRevenge]

I think he spent 60 million just to get hus senate seat, the gub races probably cost him at least half that..

heck, he has money, he left Goldman Sachs and made 400 million off his hunk of the company so he has dough to blow.

[TMA62]

the is HUGE and SERIES!!!

The NJ race may give a glipse of what will happen in NY-23 and maybe CA-10. While the conventional wisdom says that politics is local, these elections at this point in time of our nation’s history may prove that the they have national undertones.

[Ros42]

SWEEEET!!!!

[PhiKapMom]

Obama personally was in there five times! What a wonderful evening! Senior citizens went to Christie by over 50%! Life is good!

[eyedigress]

50 to 44 is a whack!

[tioga]

independents went for Christie 58% — dang, that’s HIGH!

[NormsRevenge]

Hoffman has some votes to make up currently, fingers crossed, haven’t heard anything locally about turnout for the CA-10 race yet, turning the local news talk radio on to see what’s up.

[WoodlandsTXFreeper2]

CNN just declared Christie the winner. HELL YES, IT’S A GOOD NIGHT!!

[SonsOfLibertyII]

NJ, really. I am praising someone but its not allah. Looks like more people are on the side of the 1776 revolutionaries than the Bill Ayers revolutionaries. How many years since their was an R at the end of the NJ governor?

[PhiKapMom]

I couldn’t believe the Indy switch. Guess they don’t like the direction of the Country via Obama and the Congress liberals.

[Uncle Miltie]

Changing Tagline.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

Congratulations New Jersey~

Hahaha Acorn!!

[Covenantor]

Vote for ObaCorz....cuz....wait....cuz........cuz.......

Anybody got Cheetos?"

"I think he spent 60 million just to get his senate seat, the guv races probably cost him at least half that."
