he began surging since the leaked exit poll showing it tied, I guess under the assumption that they will be able to steal enough votes to win a close one, and due to banked absentee ballots. of course, if that exit poll data is faulty, those gamblers lose.
But New Jersey is a tough nut to crack. Corzine the lefty was ahead in actual votes based on absentee stuff. Christie has to overcome that lead. So Corzine becomes the "smart" money based on suspect exit polling.
But New Jersey always disappoints, if it doesn't tonight then it will be a small miracle.
