They just seem to resist it. And successfully, too

You've asked many good questions.

Now I have a few.

Why would one NOT vote for for Christy (assuming he's not a criminal, certified lunatic, refuses to talk to the press etc.). What do we have to lose, really?

Who in the hell are those 46% that would re-elect Corzine and, more importantly, WHY?

I agree 150% with this post and have got to wonder myself about the 46%. Why would the people of those counties be for him? What did he do for them??
Plain and simple, we can't afford 4 more years of Corzine.

Lets be real here. There are those on both sides that will vote party line no matter what.

Exactly. And those that vote for a candidate because they're a certain political party need to be sent for a mental health exam.

Always look at the agenda of each candidate, subtract 99% of what he/she has to say as empty pandering crap, and there's your total.

And as far as Christie is concerned. Anyone who has 130 convictions against both parties is fine with me.

Good point. I don't think of these things because in any elections I vote person, not party.

Doesn't everyone complain that Corzine caters to the urban cities and they are the beneficiaries of his policies (whatever they are)? If so, do you blame those residents for voting for him? Don't people vote for THEIR best interests?

You're right, Tahiti, they do. I would just really LOVE to know what he's done for them to gain such loyalty. Loyalty for what reasons othere than he's a dem.
Do people not see that it's really logical to take a look at what someone has done before pledging support?

Well one is the 3 billion that went on top of the prior 8.8 billion that he just applied to school construction without any vote from the public.That money goes into the cities. WE pay for our schools with our property taxes in the burbs.I know stop whining we are all rich. LOL
