Basically the polls were right.

There is not enough discontent with the status quo.

[Hoodat]

When Ann Coulter stands next to Christie, they look like the number ‘10’.

Does not look good...too many votes to make up. 55% to 44% the latest shows. Even all the corruption that followed Booker could not stop him.

It’s definitely winnable, but even if he doesn’t win, it’s a lot closer than most people thought it would be.

Christie is happy with this result, he can’t have any Pubbies in Jersey overshadowing him.

“Lonegan was and is a force to be reckoned with.”

I campaigned for him years ago. Unfortunately, no Republican is a “force to be reckoned with” as long as the media controls our elections. After the 2012 election I have no faith in this process whatsoever; many Americans are stupid (and this was done by design), and they deserve the pain they’re enduring now.

[JRandomFreeper]

I wonder how much money the national party gave Lonegan.

[Viennacon]

35% in Essex is remarkable.

[World'sGoneInsane]

You know, the Tea Party needs to do some public relations on what they are about. Booker was using the words "tea party" to invoke fear.

In some instances, I can tell you it worked with the low info voters from all backgrounds.

[John Valentine]

Whoops. My forecasting skills have been usurped by reality.

[lonestar67]

It does appear that the places that have not reported the most precincts are the ones favoring Lonegan.

I don’t know NJ all that well but the fact that Gloucester is 50-49 seems to suggest the race is pretty close and that county is 100% reported.

[parksstp]

not 35 % in Essex, right now it’s 82-17%

The 35% was in Camden County.

[JRandomFreeper]

50% of precincts reporting. There's still half of the game left.

“There is not enough discontent with the status quo.”

There is plenty of discontent with the status quo here in NJ; this state is dying, and people are trapped in homes they can’t sell watching jobs leave and illegals swarm in. The media simply pretended Booker was the change and that Lonegan was going to outlaw abortion and re-institute slavery (and pushed that 24/7 for months).

We’ll just have to enjoy Newark’s mounting death toll and wait for the seat to be up for grabs again next year.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Hunterdon is in .... Christie won by 40%

Lonegan wins by 23%

very high turnout. Still looks like Lonegan will not crack 45% statewide.

[dfwgator]

They get what they deserve.

[World'sGoneInsane]

many Americans are stupid (and this was done by design), and they deserve the pain they’re enduring now.

No argument there. Many voters are also one-issue voters, or have self-interest at heart. Steve Lonegan is genuine in working for the people. Even the stupid ones...

[mojo114]

Good to see you!
Thanks for your vote today
Hoping he wins...

[JRandomFreeper]

That much. Do you know that for a fact?
