Tight N.J. governor’s race goes down to the wire
Published: November 2, 2009
TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey’s candidates for governor are darting through the state on the last day of a campaign being billed as a vote on President Barack Obama’s popularity.
Obama has made five appearances in New Jersey to make his case for Jon Corzine, the only Democratic governor seeking re-election. Virginia and New Jersey are the only states electing governors tomorrow.
Republicans have not won statewide in New Jersey in a dozen years. A victory would sting the president in a state he carried a year ago.
Corzine faces a tough challenge from Republican Chris Christie, a former prosecutor. Christie has suggested he is the candidate who will bring change to New Jersey.
Polls show the race a tossup heading into Tuesday.
Independent candidate Chris Daggett is a former Environmental Protection Agency administrator who could influence the outcome.

Because of the rampant Democrat fraud in NJ and the emergence of the executive director of the Obama run ACORN in the Garden State, challenger Chris Christie has sent out hundreds of lawyer observers and over 600 poll observers to watch for typical NJ election fraud.
Those from NJ know how the usual election fraud is committed. No one has yet had to guts to stand up and try to stop it.
It’s NJ, Guido. Let them call a fig an apple or a banana a pear. We got enough troubles in the old dominion to worry about.
Christie has suggested he is the candidate who will bring change to New Jersey.
Hmm, the guy bringing the republican brand of change or the ex-Goldman incumbent? Change indeed.
