With all of Corzine's money and the mentality of the voters in NJ can he lose? Can Christie capture enough of the independent and democratic votes to beat him? I sure hope so, but am really doubtful.
I can't see Christie winning the vote in Newark, Trenton, Camden or Jersey City. Voter turnout will be crucial in November. Yesterday's turnout was disgraceful.
Leonid Brezhnev would beat Christie in these places.

You don't think Christie would be able to get the support of at least half of the independent voters? I think he will, with ease.

Since when are these cities of beacon of voter turnout? Does anyone have stats that show voters come out in droves in these places? Real easy to blame the poor folks when in reality you have people who won't vote at all.

Nope not the poor folks and can only speak of Hudson County where the dead & buried still vote
In 1991, you couldn't drive more than 2 miles in NJ without seeing a "Florio Free in 1993" or "Fire Florio, Get DelTufo" bumper sticker. The outrage towards Florio seemed immense. But something funny happens in NJ when you drive towards NYC or Philly. Those types of bumper stickers begin to disappear.
yes, because the areas without the stickers were usually home to people with higher educations, and not those who used firewood to heat their homes
It has less to do with turnout and more to do with the fact that there are simply more people in urban areas than suburban areas. Just look at the breakdown: about 33% of NJ registered voters are Deomocrats, while just 20% are Republicans.
typically, Dem's try to inflate the vote (e.g. having dead people cast ballots) while the Rep's try to discourage turnout (e.g. having strong-armed goons intimidate minorities at the polls)...
1) there are people out there who believe Corzine has done a good job for THEM. And again, isn't that why one votes? That makes them a dim bulb? At least they're voting. And FTR, I'm NOT a Corzine fan.
2) I've asked this question before, but I'd like your take. Assume Christie gets elected....you say "he can't do worse" - what is your definition of success? Mediocrity? What if things stay the same, is that success? My income tax rate has not changed in the past x years (way before Corzine). My property taxes have gone up an average of 3-4% a year during his tenure (which is normal). Based on those 2 most prevalent gripes about him, if I voted for him in Nov, why would I be a dim bulb? If a vote for Christie means the same, what's the difference?

LOL really? Surprising, since the Healy (Democratic mayor of JC) goons were out yelling at people as they were entering the Bright Street School a few weeks back.
