Uh, Corzine spent @ $23 million in this race. As for being good for
New Jersey, we'll see. We have a $10 billion budget shortfall that the
state Constitution requires to be closed, but I'll be waiting for the
tax cuts Christie promised me.

I'll tell you something about Corzine. He ****ed off a lot of voters
from both sides, and he wasn't a popular Governor, but that tells me,
he was making the tough decisions, unpopular as they are. Christie, on
the other hand, ran promising a "free lunch". I don't think he can
deliver, but we'll have to wait and see.

NY-23 was the race that really interested me. When Deeds was chosen as
the Dem candidate in Virginia, I knew that race was a goner. I wasn't
paying much attention to "Joisey." But when the GOP's crazies (led by
Palin) helped push the party-selected candidate out of the race there,
and substitute an "indy" of their chosing, I started to pay attention.
Lo and behold, the Democrat won, in a district that hasn't gone
Democratic since the last time SW Tom had a real, cogent thought.

It was an amazing race up there.

Poor Sarah Palin. **** upon yet again.

Well, living in New Jersey, the Governor's race interested me. We've had
several good Republican governors in the past. Cahill and Kean were
quite competent. Whitman, not so much so, but at least she was a social
moderate. Christie is not a social moderate, and IMO, not very
competent. He's going to have his hands full with the state of this
state, and I don't think he's up to the task. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
