PolitiFact N.J.: Chris Christie claims Republicans will buck midterm trend
Published: Sunday, November 06, 2011, 3:45 PM
Even if they don't win a new seat, Republicans can still declare victory on Tuesday.
Gov. Chris Christie explained how in a recent radio interview. He said that during the last 48 years every governor in the midterm of his or her first term has lost seats in the Legislature, except Jim McGreevey in 2003.
PolitiFact New Jersey researched state election history and found the governor is right. Besides McGreevey, the last governor to pick up seats in a midterm election was Robert Meyner in the 1950s.
So if the Republicans don't get their clocks cleaned in New Jersey, they've done well.
Loyola is a shoe in win in the Tidewater district many are ticked off Obama stole the military town.
I just voted.
The only thing worth noting is that quite a few of the Republicans in my Upstate New York district ran unopposed. At least half of them. The most race for the most powerful position, County Executive, had no opponent for the Republican incumbent.
Democrats didn’t even field candidates for many.
I don’t know if anything can be taken from that, but I don’t recall it happening in the past.
We voted on some local issues out here in my neck of the woods.
The Obamabots are out there.
The guy in front of me-rather loudly-said, “My name is so and so and I live at such and such and I’m a registered democrat! I can’t wait to vote for Barack Obama again in 2012!”
The polling personnel reminded him that we aren’t supposed to discuss parties and candidates at that particular location.
Of course, I had to chime in. “They call that electioneering, don’t they?”
ping to check later.
HEAVY Turnout reported in Suburban Indianapolis for the Mayor’s race.
Local Media is already dropping hints about, AND LAMENTING ABOUT, the enthusiasm gap.
Millage vote for me today.
Iditots picked a hell of a time to ask taxpayers for $22 million to build a new school or refurbish the old one.
I voted no BTW
sorry to be a lard azz
8 minutes till the polls close in Virginia!
Don’t forget ole Ohio ~!
I posted a thread for Ohio a couple hours ago so if anyone wants the link, FReep mail me .
The big race in Michigan is Paul Scott. He's up for recall because the teacher unions hate his guts. If he wins, it will send a big message that their days of control are coming to an end.
Very off year for NC, only mayor and city commissioners on the ballot where I live. I voted a little after 12:30 and the turnout was a bit better than expected due to the mayoral race being a real contest this time. I was thrilled to cast my vote for my very own husband, FReeper nnn0jeh, who is running for city commissioner.
Polls close in less than 1/2 hour. Hoping my dear one wins!
I voted for myself tonight for city council. That gave me 2% of the vote.
Virginia is looking good.
Dang it WAS looking good when I posted it.Loyola is in mi,itary tidewater.
I said I feel like I'm always here and he mentioned how many times I will be there next year. I said “I may as well camp out here” and he said “occupy the election”. We giggled. He told me my district #....at the same time, a man was walking through and he said “follow that man”.
That man heard and stopped for me. We started talking. Long story short, he is a Bible based Christian. We spent some time talking after we put that stupid new card system in about how society was going downhill fast.
Just this morning, I posted a vanity about a commercial which appalled me.
I asked for some good wholesome, positive postings to get me out of my disdain. FReepers, of course came through.
Funny how I met a fellow Christian going in to vote after I posted my “vanity for sanity”.
Not so interesting.......Dems will win. Why did they not challenge so many dems seats

20/20 tie at this point. Still a gop pickup if this holds. As the Lt Gov is gop, the gop wins the tie.
This is going to go late into the night.
