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.

Corzine won because a lot of New Jersey is overdeveloped - and the people who have moved into the new housing are all "Rat refugees from the mess they created in the five boroughs of New York and from Philly.
Also Forrester ran a vicious campaign against Schundler and made no effort to reach out to his base. In addition the New Jersey Republican Party suffers from an acute case of self-destructive madness.
