NJ Governor Race: Christie, Corzine neck and neck as Daggett fades

When rational people take over the nation one day one of the first priorities must be correcting the corruption of our voting process. And if some federal judge strikes the corrections down ignore them. Voter fraud must be stopped.

Nobody is saying but thinking this...If Daggett wants to be a hero he should pull out and endorse Christie that would put him in good stead for any future race he may consider..

Corzine will lose.

an excellant and articulate post! thanks.

It is really hard to get out the Truth in a simple soundbite information way. That is why one to one communication of conservatives with people around us that are independents or even moderate dems is so important.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I think NJ voters are waking up to the fact that Daggett is not as "independent" as they thought he was.

Daggett is a career bureaucrat who has served in various environmental positions in state and federal government.

I say Christie wins this 47-45 with Daggett getting 8%.

If the Republican was actually a conservative he’d be walking away with this.

Hello EV

Here in NJ that's not true.
Not right now anyway...

They like gay marriage and abortion and hand outs.

If Chris Christie is elected (and I hope he is-I voted for him), it will only be because people are sick and tired and poor and angry.

But even all of that is not enough right now to get someone truly right elected here.
Not yet...

The Dem margins will come from the mail-in ballots. Every abandoned property in NJ will be voting Dem this election.

Every abandoned property in NJ will be voting Dem this election.

There's many new people renting houses here.
Probably just my imagination though..

And btw, every time an application for an absentee ballot was sent from my home, we received a solicitation for votes from the dems in that applicant's name.
This has never happened in the past.
Someone working at that office is collecting names and addresses?

“40% = Dem | 34% = Ind | 26% = Rep”

That’s a disgrace. Christie is probably ahead by 5 - 6 points.

“Do the dead vote in NJ ?”

Does a bear s*it in the woods?/s;)

[CottShop]

too close to call- apparently 1/2 of NJ just loves paying hte highest taxes and property taxes in the nation, loves givign their state the highest % from their checks and loves the fact that thigns are so expensive there that businesses are moving out of state because they couldn’t make it anymore in NJ- What the hell is wrong with people?

Picture of Democratic voters on election night (state of your choice):

[07Jack]

I think those internals show that Independents are undersampled and both Dems & Rep are being oversampled.
Thats good news for Christie as the Independents seem to breaking his way.

Its gonna be close...lets go NJ Freepers make sure ALL likeminded folks you know vote on Tuesday so we can defeat Corzine and strike a major blow against the liberal socialist movement in our nation.

[07Jack]

In New Jersey????
Most places yes, but probably not here.

[itssme]

Hey, New Jersey, heads up! Protect your Republican vote! Make sure your polling places are protected against the democrat thugs, i.e Seiu/Acorn/New Black Panther Party who will be applying their trade on Tuesday...you can bet on that...the race is CLOSE. If there was ever a time when you must get off the sofa and become involved in politics IT IS NOW. Don't let these white house thugs pull off another intimidation/rip-off of votes like the New Black Panter Party thugs did in Philadelphia during the Presidential elections...get out there and protect our freedom to vote! God bless you all.

[MNJohnnie]

I hope this is true but NJ is such a tease. It promises us and promises us that we have a shot in poll after poll and then on election night goes left.

Former Dem Gov Brendan Byrne recently said that when he dies he wants to be buried in Hudson County........... so he could remain politically active.

According to Survey USA,

Daggett’s partisan support is as follows:

GOP 10%
Dem 8%
Indie 17%

Jersey Indies have made it habit to vote Dem. So you could say Daggett is draining Corzine’s support.

I’m not so sure about your theory. This race is almost a replay of the 1993 race between Whitman and Florio, minus the Independent. Nearly a dead-heat, and in the voting booth, undecideds went to Whitman, the challenger. I see too many similarities, despite this being more of a blue state now. Christie will win, bet the farm on it. By the way, I’m not voting for him. He’s too liberal, but he will win.
