I hope Christie wins. If he can’t, no Republican will ever win statewide in NJ again. They may as well just fold up shop.

When will it reach the point when all the haves have picked up and gone, or died? If Wall Street doesn’t come back the way it was before, who is going to pay the welfare checks, except the federal government? But of course if the Dims have their way, ever state will have the same taxing policy as NJ, NY, or California.

If Christie can lose 20 lb’s, he’s got it clenched.

Yo, Christie, I don’t really like you, but here’s a tip:
get your stomach stapled.

Oh yes, and counter to the ‘zines charges with counter charges: when he broadcasts ads about your curious loans to friends, you counter by reprising the shenanigans on the Parkway. Ask him if they ever managed to extract steering wheel from beneath his ribs. And how’s that ‘secretary’ who was attending him in the back seat of the SUV?

And ask him if he ever compensated the state for the expense imposed by his stupidity, as he promised.

Do this now. If you wait, they’ll say you’re mean.

Third party candidate, Christie = RINO, Essex & Camden graveyard vote, Corzine wins by seven percentage points.
The opportunity was lost when Bret Schundler did not win the GOP nomination.

Prediction: Corzine wins walking away. New Jersey may be a basket case but there is no sign the state's inhabitants have had enough of the Democratic Kool-Aid.

True fact: NJ is the state with the highest % of workers that work for the government.

Glad to hear Christie did well in the debate.

Voters should understand, only Christie or Liberal Corzine
can win. If voters vote third party or sit at home, that is same as voting for the Liberal Democrat.

NJ got hammered by wall street implosion and here comes round 2. If the Dems remain in power and Obamacare passes - drug companies will get hammered. After Nj will only have it’s chemical dumps.

Did anyone watch it? Was it on a real channel? Here in NJ, we don’t really have our own tv. We get NY tv in the north. Philly tv in the south. The “local” news is nyc or philly news. There’s a cable nj channel if you have cable, but that’s about it. I’m guessing hardly anyone saw the debate. I know I didn’t. But then, I killed my tv.

“Loretta Weinberg, Corzine’s running mate and a state senator, tells NRO. “They’re salivating over the idea that this will send a message to our new, young president in Washington. And I’m here to tell you, along with Jon Corzine, that that’s not going to happen.”

This left-wing fruitcake from California, who was born and bred, I believe, in the rotten apple of New York City, is as good a reason as any to vote against that affluent arrogant elitist slime ball Jon Curswine.

How many Acorn people will be bussed in to vote in Camden? Acorn will bus people into Newark from New York.

I live in NJ and in my opinion Christie is toast. This state LONGS to vote democrat. It longs to be a liberal utopia. Sure, the citizens are miserable. Sure, they are angry at Corzine. Sure, they agree something has to be done. But programming always takes over that says, “we can’t vote Republican, everything is the Republicans fault after all!!! What’s that, the democrats control EVERYTHING!?! No!!!” Sorry, the programming of my fellow NJ citizens prevents them from making that admission.

So here we are. Christie has been leading in the polls for sometime now. But now that it is getting closer to put up or shut up time a majority of my fellow citizens are balking and the polls are closing. The majority of my fellow citizens are looking for that nail to hang their hat on so they can justify voting democrat AGAIN. And what is that nail? Christie is FAT. Oh no, can’t vote for a fat guy. If he can’t take care of himself he can’t take care of the state. (Ignore that fact that a thin guy definitely has proven that he can’t take care of the state).

I give you NJ, a state playing Russian roulette with all six chambers loaded.

Of course it was not on a real channel. This is the support the dems can count on. The state run media will simply bury any story that harms their candidate. To the extent this debate was reported on, it was reported as a victory for the third party candidate. . .I kid you not.

I hasten to remind you that Christine Todd Whitman actually defeated a Democrat not too long ago.

You seem to be saying that the state has changed so much since then that NO REPUBLICAN will EVER win in a Statewide election.

Yes, I am saying just that. And by the way, the sheeple of this state STILL blame Christine Todd Whitman for things long after she left office. It is amazing.

It’s tough in Jersey. We don’t have our own affiliates. I actually think it’s one of the reasons we’re so screwed up. We don’t get any real coverage of our own news.

And NJ1 (New Jersey One) is very weak on political coverage.
