I am waiting for Michael Barone to call it. Then I will breath easy.

I think Barone is crunching the numbers for Fox.

# @aceintx The Hill is reporting it goes to Hoffman.4 minutes ago from TweetDeck in reply to aceintx

[Brytani]

Freemail me.

Between FR and other groups down here we’re going after Crist’s head and backing Rubio and Allen West (he’s not in our district but important), we’re vetting candidates as they qualify for the ballot.

I can’t find any new news on Hoffman. Do you have a clue what has happened in that race?

Hoffman is -3 with 12% in according to Fox.

[bustinchops]

Corzine is now at 6.5 on Intrade.

I’m getting worried about Hoffman. 8% is in and he’s down 11. Intrade dropped him from a high of 90 down to 75 now. Does anyone know what’s going on there? Is it just that mostly rat precincts have been counted thus far or is there a fraud problem there that Hoffman isn’t equipped to defeat?

[Yossarian]

NJ: With 60% of precincts in, it’s 44% Corzine vs 50% Christie.

By my calculations, Corzine will need to win the 40% remaining precincts by 6.5% to pull within a percent (i.e. fraud country) of Christie.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Get 15% in and down by 8% and I’ll start to worry.

A strong Owens district report first, and Hoffman will be down. Especially in a smaller race.

[jhw61]

Yeah baby!

[StarFan]

Thanks so much for the news. I see the new map on Politico which is trending RED thus far.

[Irish Eyes]

No results yet from Salem County is this a blue or red county in NJ?

[mainerforglobalwarming]

Gay marriage right now looks like it will stand. I’ll let you know if I see any new numbers before I go to bed.

[luvie]

Exactly right!

Good to see you, by the way! :D

OK we lost NY-23 are you happy now?

[fedupjohn]

Over on NRO they say the math looks bad for Corzine at this point. Let us hope.

I was at our local Democratic Election Party site in, Middlesex County,NJ. All the locals came in, and Corzine won be 300 votes, where he should have won by 3000 votes

the word was he is toast.

I hope that holds up!

This would totally rock out loud!

[sunmars]

I cant see corzine winning now, he has to run up bigger margins in dem districts than he did in 05 to counter the 10% gains by christie all over.

[xjcsa]

When he told the I-man he weighed 550 lbs. he may have stole the election!!!

Bingo.
