A pair of big-spending, notably nasty races for governor in Virginia and New Jersey entered their final hours Monday, as candidates made last-minute blitzes and brought in political heavy-hitters to help campaign.
In New Jersey, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine and Republican Doug Forrester spent the day stumping for votes in coffee shops, train stations and senior citizen centers after a week dominated by allegations of infidelity and corruption.
A Quinnipiac Poll released Monday gave Corzine a slight edge, 53 percent to 45 percent. The Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll put the two closer, with Corzine leading 43 percent to 37 percent.
Forrester, who swept through diners and coffee shops with New York Gov. George Pataki, described his mood as "pumped."
"I was told a year ago if we came into the final week in single digits, we'll win. We are going to do this tomorrow," he said.

Forrester.....BUMP
Virginia FRiends, please vote tomorrow!
If Democrats retain their seats tomorrow, the MSM will trumpet the "Republican is weakened" message. In fact, we've seen some analyses with that tone. How could it be the case when both seats are held by Democrats?
I'll be right behind you at 7am!
Have you heard if they have purged the DemocRATS' dead voters from the rolls yet? I read last week that some judge had ordered them to do that. Removing deceased voters from the voter rolls is really going to play hell with the DNC's voter base.
Good Folks, forget any of the polls. As you saw one year ago, it is TURNOUT that counts. Pubbies, Conservatives, Freepers, etc., please, please, please get your butts in gear and go out and vote in New Jersey and Virginia tomorrow. Should the unexpected happen, and Kilgore wins in VA and Forrester wins in NJ, the Democrat Party will be on life support. Actually, if these are really close races, 2006 will not be a banner year for the Democrat "traitor/treason" Party.
Ive been hearing on the radio that the dead voter on the rolls issue has come up but I dont know if anything has been done.
Thanks. DemocRATS usually don't pay any attention to what judges say anyway. Unless it's one of THEIR judges screwing over a Republican.
Because the lie and manipulate the truth!!!!
Wish I could agree with the article that Corzine's 5 or 8 point lead is "close" but I certainly will pull that republican lever tomorrow morning.
C'mon New Jersey wake up!
