Corzine **APPOINTED** Governor of NJ by vote counters who let the dead vote. While I know that the dead do vote in New Jersey (my stepmother stopped her dead first husband from voting after several failed attempts to get his page administratively removed by tearing it out while visiting the polls), I think Corzine's victory is too large to explain simply by the walking dead. Bottom line is that the Democrats turned out the vote and I suspect that a significant portion of the New York immigrants and foreign immigrants to New Jersey are going Democrat. I don't want to sound like the Democrats who whine about Bush stealing the White House.

PA is looking better and better.

Was it NEw Jersy or one of the other Atlantic states that instituted a "millionaire tax" and subsequently saw tax rolls fall as rich people fled?

"HAHA NJ! you got what you deserve! LOL! You never learn do ya?
:D Fixed to get McGreeveyed again! :P"
My take is that the people who cried when McSleazy stepped down are the same folks who voted for Corzine. There are just more of this type of people in NJ then there are people like us Freepers.
One day I hope to be sitting in my home in PA or CT (a goal of mine) and watching the TV report about how there are no productive people left in NJ to tax...

Dick Morris just called Corzine "an obscenity" on national TV. Works for me. And THAT is the definite pot-meet-kettle remark of the year.

The Pubbies are welcome here in Fla. The problem is that the Dems will also flee, and they have not yet devised a test to tell the difference when they cross the border.Unfortunately, with the NY/NJ rat infestation we've been having in central Fla., I give it 10 years max until we have a rat dominated legislature and a state income tax that naturally goes along with it. I hope to invade North Carolina before that comes to pass.

What can I say New Jersey. Your state just continues to waddle in the kimchee. I am taking personal action to leave my liberal New England state and changing it to Florida, where my next vote will count for something. Anyways I always loved living in the south.

Right. Hold onto your house until the wealthy liberal New Yorkers move down here, then sell it to them for 5x what you paid, then move somewhere else. The way things are going, though, the somewhere else might be in the Islands, or maybe Australia.

Is this good news or bad news????
His Senate seat becomes open when he is sworn in.
Since he was a junior 1st term senator, probably no big deal.
But, is there anything the Reps can do to take advantage of the openly contestable seat?

I'm afraid it will not take that long. The infestation from NY/NJ to Central Florida, along with the daily migration from central/south americans to South Florida where I am is a very, very, bad combination indeed.
I have my eye on TN myself.

Well, what you need to remember is that people move to New Jersey from New York to get out of their state. But like a plague of locusts that ruin a field and then move on, these New York liberals vote for the same sorts of crooked politicians that ruined New York. The people fleeing NJ don't just go to PA. They also go to Northern Virginia, Florida, the Carolinas, and elsewhere.
To: ShuShu
New Jersey deserves exactly what they voted for! If after McGreevy and all the corruption talk they still vote for the Dem Machine, I have no sympathy.
And you know that the Republican party here is no less corrupt, don't you?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to sleep soon so I can get up in the morning, go to work, and have my federal taxes go to pave the roads and build schools for everyone south of the mason dixon line.

That's all we need is more of them moving here, voting the same and expecting a different outcome. It works for locusts...

What the "soak the rich" crowd doesn't realize is that if they soak the New Jersey rich much more and New Jersey companies much more, they'll move elsewhere and take their money with them.
To: right right
Anyone dumb enough to still be in NJ deserves Corzine.Do you run from every fight just because you suffer a few setbacks?
By that rationale, we should abandon the United States of America. Bill Clinton was elected twice, after all.
Personally, I don't cut and run when things start to look a little dark.

Looking dark is one thing, but staring death in the face is another. After the torricelli, lautenberg, Mc Sleezy fiascos how much more do you need before you see the writing on the wall?
