TRENTON, N.J. – Republican Chris Christie has defeated Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey.

With 71 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, Christie had 50 percent of the vote to Corzine's 44 percent.

Do I remember correctly that Corzine spent $60 million (of his own money) to get elected?

Good thing Obama isn’t following the elections, he’d be feeling pretty sick right about now.

yet stupid cnn and msnbc say “dead heat”. If the final tally is 50 to 44 percent, does that mean they tied?

I think he spent 60 million just to get hus senate seat, the gub races probably cost him at least half that..

heck, he has money, he left Goldman Sachs and made 400 million off his hunk of the company so he has dough to blow.

the is HUGE and SERIES!!!

The NJ race may give a glipse of what will happen in NY-23 and maybe CA-10. While the conventional wisdom says that politics is local, these elections at this point in time of our nation’s history may prove that the they have national undertones.
