CNN

Mario Cuomo lost to GeorgePataki because of continuous increased property taxes. If you think the same thing can't happen in New Jersey, think again.

Last I checked Congress has been controlled by Dems for quite sometime, and yet, CNN viewers still blame Bush. And Obama is now taking credit for the successes in Iraq!!!!!!????? He really has a blind bunch of lemmings following him. When he gives free stuff to 51% of the population, and he continues to get re-elected, we will see the real fireworks from the other 49% who have to pay for the 51%. Keep in mind 40% of working adults do not pay taxes. The money is withheld from their paychecks, and then they get it all back and some (IRS data). This is the beginning of a major class war. And Obama will be smiling the entire way.

The Dems are done. They will lose in 2010 and we will have a new president in 2012. I actually am glad that the Dems have gained power temporarily and ratcheted up spending and governemnt power. It just reminds the population that government expansion is not the answer... and the vast majority of Americans are recognizing this. Sure, the GOP has done some stupid things, but this time as the minority party gives them a chance to get reorganized and refocused. Mark my words Democratic party, your time in power is short. You guys will cut your nose off to spite your face. There is much irony in this whole situation.

If the people in NJ are going through what Deval Patrick is putting us through here in MA, then Corzine deserves to be thrown out on his ear.

Massachusetts (better known as Taxachusetts) will now go from a 5% sales tax up 25% to 6.25. This will definitely stimulute the economy YEAH OF NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Even the CT people who used to come up to the western part of MA such as Springfield (home of the NBA) to shop since 5% was cheaper than CT tax won't be coming up to shop anymore.

Deval Patrick is a good friend of POTUS and the POTUS is coming to campaign for Corzine....watch out NJ!

Wow, once again we see a lot of liberal hate from the far left of our Democratic Party. Personally, I am not a big fan of Corzine, I have a lot of friends in NJ who are not happy with how he has been running the State. I suspect we will see a shift of power in NJ to a more fiscally responsible (and less taxing) Governor. In the end, I think if Chris Christie wins, my far left liberal FANantics will claim the election was stolen. Where are all of the moderates? HAHA.

Aunt Bea – The state should just be divided.Give the top to N.Y and the bottom to Philly,it has become their bedrooms.Poor Jersey lost it I.D years ago as the Garden State.It was great then,I grew up there.Whitman is better.

Ummm. Philly is not a state??

I think as Corzine's record is brought before the voters, the gap will grow wider.

People will not look to the past to see what repubs have done, but rather to now to see what democrats are doing (raising taxes, bigger govt, etc) and vote them out. 2010 and 2012 are going to be a big surpise for dems. They'll be on the outside looking in again, as the house will regain a republican majority and Obama will be a one term president, just like Jimmy Carter.

I will be voting for Corzine.

I love how democrats keep saying the Republican party is done. Thats a HUGELY ignorant statement. Obama and the Democrats were elected on a platform of change... not on a platform of leftist insanity. The hardcore left voters LOVE to think that every american who helped them elect this recent bunch of clowns thinks as they do and hates the right as much as they do.

The fact is, it's middle of the road sensible people who make all the difference.. and when the left starts turning us into 1980's Moscow... or present day Europe... those reasonable people who were swayed by nothing more than clever marketing of the Democrat brand will wise up and retribution will be at hand.

The biggest mistake you leftists can make is to aleniate the right because of your ignorant belief that you are infaliable.

Corzine needs to go and get replaced by ANYONE. A monkey can do a better job than this chump. It's a perfect time for not just Chris Christie, but for anyone who wants the job. If a Dem were to go against Corzine, Corzine would definitely be out. In this case, it's not about the party, it's about the incompetent man at the helm right now.

Corzine is bankrupting the state. Any thought that the poles reflect a tightening will b misleading. People are tired of being misled. He will b the first liberal to fall then there will b many others that will try to change but it will b too late for them too...If u are a fiscally liberal Republican, Democrat, Independent, or other you can bend over and kiss your hiney good bye.

Republicans still do not comprehend why they lost the House,Senate and the White House. The reason is simple, they are about their own self interest and not about the people of America. When republicans publicly say they rather have Cheney in their party instead of Colin P, it shows that the rest of the country that republicans have lost their minds. Another reason republicans can not be trusted is because they listen to Rush, enough said.
The conservative party is excludes anyone who can think for themselves. They want mindless Robots that will obey without question.

I'm tired of the increased taxes and liberal policies of Corzine. Christie will be a welcome change for NJ.

Who cares about NJ? The country as a whole is going straight down the crapper.... the weight and burden of a federal govt and bureaucracy slowly creaking past the tipping point....

stupid is as stupid does..... Corzine is a rich wall street hack who is still taxing the state to death,,,,,

I love how the Dems keep telling themselves the Republican party is dead. Sure doesn't look like it in NJ. Some Dems apparently think the only people who vote Republican are Republicans. They must think all indepentents vote Dem. Independents are not locked in to one party vote. If they were they would not be independents. There are more Dems than Republicans in American, but there are also more independents than Dems. Independents control who wins elections not the size of the Dem or Republican party.

Dems are overreaching and Repubs will take control again. The whites won't be fooled twice by Obama.

New Jersey is a coplete mess. Thanks, Democrats!

I'am a 20 year old college student who lived in NJ his whole life. And the only things I have seen Corzine do is make us last for small business or rasing are taxes to give to union fat cats. Also taking the state police out of Camden, causing it to become the most dangerous city in the country. I can go on and go. Wake up cnn and liberals, Jon Corzine is cronie. Christe is going to win because people are done with the same old. And you liberal media can't stop it.

Thats ok we will put a person back in Office that caves in to the worthless state unions that have put this state into a hole it will never get out of. Maybe I wouldn't complain about my taxes when I see my town school superintendent making under $250K a year, the police officers making over $140K a yr. These unions have destroyed this state and why should I want to fork over more tax money when I'm not getting a raise but we have stupid contracts that let these Unions get what ever they want!!

Bush isn't in office anymore and now the rich old democrates have the white house now get over it so from here on out Obama will get the blame if things in this country aren't fixed

@Lori reminds the GOP that Obama's ratings are still higher than 2 term idiot Bush's!!!

What color the sky in your world?

Corzine will get voted out because people are looking for any alternative. But fortunately for you, you still have several months to keep living in your delusional world.

Who and where did they poll? The folks with fine houses in Bergen, Morris and Hunterdon Counties?

That's not surprising that the GOP is doing well in NJ. That state can go either way, although it's typically Dem.

If NJ votes in someone with the low popularity of Bush or Carter then I pity the fools that live there.

That why NJ will never get ahead the Dems have ruined this state for years and will continue to. Lets be smart the only people that actually vote for the Dems in NJ are people in the major inner city where the state gives them everything. Maybe if our elected idiots in NJ actaully started to govern and help NJ out we may get out of this hole. Hey remember all the good our last Govener did with Zanadu & EnCap. So drinking the Democratic cool-aid and wake up!!! I can't believe one of you morons actually blamed Whitman. Just like you blamed Bush this has been a Democrat problem now for 12 years!!!!

God help you Marcy. It's people like you that have made us suffer under Democratic rule in this state, and have flushed it into the toilet. Actually, we're not flushed yet. We're still floating. The big flush will be NJ voting out Corslime. Only then can we start to rebuild the state and fill the tank back up with fresh water. How can you live in NJ, pay the highest property taxes in the nation, the highest this and that in the nation, and still think Democratic rule works? Brain death is better treated out in Ca. Go move there. Corslime is the worst Gov. in our entire history. The worst. Anyone voting for him at this point should be ashamed of themselves. The state pension fund mess was not created by the GOP, and hasn't been fixed by the Dems. Corslime has had 4 years to do something about it, and he's done nothing but let it get worse and bankrupt the state. Being a union member and having your state go bankrupt shows what kind of people are in the unions and supporting this bum. They could care less if everyone else suffers, as long as they get something they don't deserve. Turn the state around, and vote Christie!

I hope this is a view of what is going to happen to the democrats in 2010 and in particular 2012. We cannot afford any more change, the country is going down the drain under the democrats.

I know John King and some other CNN Republicans were hoping we were dumb enough to be fooled by people who do not give a whit for ordinary working people.

The economy is terrible all over this country thanks to the Republicans, led by the liars who got us into the mess in Iraq, ruined our economy, and made the rest of the world hate our guts.

We are not that stupid. John King, tell the rest of your gang to stop trying to help the Republicans win elections. Americans are smarter than that.

I say keep Corzine and get ready to follow your neighbors in NY with your very own 17% State tax increase! Did anyone see Franken's wife or was that Olive Oil? New approach, let the Dems have every single thing they want, stand back and watch the Chaos! Who do you tax when no one is working and there are no paychecks? Scheduled implosion date 2012 don't miss your front row seat! Meanwhile, a good investment tip is to buy a semi load of cigarettes, light bulbs and Tylenol....

NJ Dem voting for Christie - had enough of all incumbents of all parties!!!!

I'am a 20 year old college student who lived in NJ his whole life. And the only things I have seen Corzine do is make us last for small business or rasing are taxes to give to union fat cats. Also taking the state police out of Camden, causing it to become the most dangerous city in the country. I can go on and go. Wake up cnn and liberal, Jon Corzine is cronie. Christe is going to win because people are done with his crap. And you liberal media can't stop it.

Republicans are the party of whine and complain. You want to live in a town with just rich folks and no industry like Red Bank or Old Bridge Township? Then you gotta pay. State income taxes are low in NJ, but no one complains about that. Try living in NY state, where income taxes AND property taxes are high. Try CA, where they are taxed heavily.

I met Jon Corzine. He's not your usual politician. He's very personable and knows his stuff. I would rather have that kind of guy as Governor rather than a dumb politician like Christie any day.

I doubt I'll vote for either candidate–I may write in Codey simply because he has been (acting) gov twice and didn't cause any damage while he was in charge. Corzine entered office trying to fix the combined mess left by Florio, Whitman, and McGreevey and has actually tried to fix the budget. I'm not saying he's done a good job of fixing the budget, but at least he's willing to try things previous governors haven't. His ethical lapses are on par with the rest of our shady politicians yet he's managed to retain party control and have a functioning government. As for Christie, he has a good track record as an attorney, but he's not slime-free and seems like he just wants to add this job to his resume for an ego-boost. His campaign fight with the other major GOP candidate was distracting and unnecessary and only seemed to hurt the GOP as a whole. Has anyone else been paying attention to the Christie contracts story? Regarding property taxes, I want a gov and a legislature that will figure out how to reduce them for everyone and find a better way to fund schools instead of giving out rebates that are argued about every year.

Me thinks I see the beginning of a trend.

I love when you Dems get scared of things to come. You automatically say, "well at least it is better than what the Repugs did the last eight years.." Really? Do you honestly think things are better? Wow, that is frightening. I mean the wars you all wanted to end are still going on, and in some cases, are picking up. The economy, which you are still blaming Bush for, is in the crapper. Taxes are on the rise. Jobs are being lost at an unbelievable rate. Shall I go on? This, to me, does not seem better than the last eight years. It was only the last two of those eight that things started going badly. Wait...wasn't that the time that the Dems got control of both houses? Talk about the party of NO. They are and always will be the party of NO. They did nothing to help this country for the last two years of Bushes administration, other than offer no ideas and obstruct things that would have helped us now. Go ahead and cry about the things you don't agree with when it comes to Bush and the last eight years. He may not have given into everything the liberals wanted, but we were much more prosperous and EMPLOYED during that period. Things are not better friends. Things are worse...so take the glass of punch away from your lips and open your eyes. At least when Bush did things wrong, the republicans could admit to it. You follow this leader blindly. SAD.

Christie is actually one very scary guy. That's why he made a good attorney general – but governor? No way. Corzine has his problems but I don't want to see this wacko conservative in Trenton anytime sood.

KD says "The problem in this state has never been with the governor, it's always been because the municipalities have too much power. "

Whatever you are smoking KD, save me some. Had you been paying attention, terms like Abbott district, Mount Laurel, and COAH would mean something to you.

Take another hit of that hopeium.

With the administrative problems in the short time that New Jersey has had Corzine at the helm, the people would be crazy to re-elect the incumbent.

I am from New Jersey and I am not crazy about Corzine; however, nobody I know plans on putting the Republicans back in power and making matters even worse.

I threatened to vote for the Republican candidate but I was just mouthing off. I'm not that stupid. The republicans are the party of the rich and I am not rich.

Notice that most of the pro-corzine posters here are not from NJ. I live in NJ and Corzine is raping this state. Jobs are disappearing, employers are heading south, and taxes are skyrocketing.

Anyone supporting Corzine on this board is either (1) from somewhere else (2) a NJ state worker, or (3) on welfare.

Robin, the only taxes I'm aware of that Corzine has raised is income taxes for those making over 200K and cigarette excise taxes... Property taxes are not under his control so don't go blaming him for that!

You can call other people misinformed, but look in the mirror first. Vote out you mayor if you want lower property taxes and then when they tell you that they have to cut services in your town, you'll complain like the good little Republican you are. Let's go back to the old days of deficits and poorly managed government. Let's face it, NJ is an expensive place to live. Period.

"I'm not defending Corzine because he is a terrible governor but I refuse to put another Republican in that will give the rest power to the municipalities"

The municipalities are all lib, so how you are blaming republicans, is well very liberal Democrat of you. You showed who you are to those of us who live amongst your kind, the most dangerous thing in America is you using a 2 ton hunk of metal as a weapon to release your lib aggression and hatird each and every day. You are what makes a state a blue state.

No matter who gets elected New Jersey will remain a garbage dump. That place should just be left to rot.

Dont let this be a sign of the GOP National having gains on the Dems.

Everyone I know is voting for Christie in a hope of cleaning up the corruption in NJ State Government.. Its not viewed as illegal, but how business is done.

This is not indicative of the GOP party. In NJ if you are not pro-choice, it will be very difficult to win a seat.

I live in NJ, and will most likely voting for Christie. It has little to do with party (I'm an Indp. but tend to lean Dem) and everything to do with getting Corzine out. I think he's been terrible.
I don't agree with everything Christie stands for politically, mainly on social issues, but at this point I just want someone else to give it a shot and bring some new ideas to the table. Corzine didn't create by himself all of the problems the state has, but he hasn't done anything to make them better and in some cases has made them worse. Enough is enough, and I know a lot of people here who feel the same way.
However, I won't be one bit surprised if when all is said and done, there's the typical low turn out and Corzine is re-elected.

GO Christey ! the only thing CorIne did for the state in New Jersey was to put more money in his pocket......... I've live in NJ for 25 years and if thing don't get better I'll have to move out can't afford the taxes..I did have the american dream to own a house and work for thing I want but thanks to Corzine I will have to do that in another state as soon as I get the money to pay the EXIT TAX......he gets you coming and going....time for him to go

Robin,

I consider myself well informed as a Democrat–I am an avid current events and news reader–but I agree. Voters should be required to inform themselves on the issues before voting blindly.

Putting a D before someone's name doesn't necessarily make them Dumb or Dashing, nor does an R make them Ridiculous or Reinvigorating. Investigate thoroughly, people. Put Prudence before Party or Politics.

I understand Mr. Corzine had to address the state budget when he came into office....I get that, he had to make cuts. But, he lost my respect when he chose to make cuts in higher education. Many of NJ's top high school students go to college outside of NJ. Cutting funding to the higher education system was the wrong way to go. We should be encouraging our high school students to continue their education in NJ, not outside of it. I was lucky that TCNJ honored my Bloustein Distinguished Scholar award for the rest of my college tenure.

If Mr. Corzine has to make cuts in education, how about we finally end the practice of throwing money at the Abbott school districts? Clearly, pouring money into those troubled schools for so many years has done nothing to help.

Lastly, how about we cut some of these bloated pensions for state workers? There are people in my county drawing on 2-3 pensions. It's absurd!

Whaaat? How can this be? I thought the republican party was dead and that would never win another election? Oh my, this will not go over well with The Messiah.

It CAN be because Christie is a MODERATE Republican. Key word: MODERATE, not NEOCON as you obviously are! And I don't see how you can take "pride" in anything you say!

Its amazing that the GOP really believe that they can win the office of the governor in NY, NJ, IL and CA and also Senatorial office in IL, Connecticut among others. This is living in a world of illusion.

Now we hear that NJ race is tightening and Dodd is moving up in his race. Once Obama starts traveling like he promised to do with helping Dodd's re-election and to help with the governorship races if he chooses, the re-election will be a sliding scale for the GOP.

Its amazing that a party that lost NY-20 race and MN re-election race to a comedian thinks they are still a credible party lol. Just cant stop laughing.

YES WE CAN 2012

9 of 10 poll quesitons are poorly worded, so they never really reflect the view of the participant

Good bye republican party

The fact is, most New Jersey residents vote Democrat and will vote for Corzine even though he championed the most regressive and anti-poor taxes. The fact that Corzine is not down by 50, and will probably win, only proves that there is a reason why there are so many poor, uneducated New Jersey residents. If people in Newark, Camden, Patterson and Irvington want to know why they don't have better lives, just look at their votes for McGreevey and Corzine. The poor have been bought and paid for by Corzine. That's why they are poor and he is governor.

@ Mitchell from MS July 1st, 2009 11:59 am ET who said:

Odd cnn that every other poll has the GOP winning… could you be trying to misreport a news story here???

What's even more odd, is that you obivously didn't read the article or you would see that it says that Christie is a Republican and has a six point lead in the poll. Could you be trying to "misreport" the report????

For the doubters, the Governorship in NJ will be in Republican hands in 2010. Residents are fed up with high taxes, high deficits and incumbent Dem bums.

And by the way 'Lori reminds the GOP that Obama's ratings are still higher than 2 term idiot Bush's!!!'

Bush had higher ratings than Obama does at the same time in his Presidency, and I am not even a Bush supporter, get your facts straight.

Who cares, Obama will be our president until 2016, then Sen. Mark Warner (VA) will carry the Democratic Party into 2020.RIP in peace GOP it will take at least 10 years for yall busters to get back right.

doesn't matter which party wins, being governor of NJ is difficult. Tis not the Garden State in reality with such picturesque places as Jersey City, Newark and Croxton. Lived in NJ for two years and will never live there again.

It will be very interesting to see how the Republican Party will react if Chris Christie pulls this off. He is a solid moderate; exactly the kind of candidate that Limbaugh, Boehner, Steele, McConnell, Inc. would refer to as a RINO. His victory would give strength and legitimacy to Bush (Jeb that is), Powell, Christ, Snowe, Inc., in their push to make the Republican party more moderate and inclusive. Will the Party applaud the rare and welcome victory, or will they deplore the ideological "impurity" that Christie represents?

If I lived in NJ, I would definitely vote for Christie. Just to see what happens!

Some of you posters don't even bother to READ the article before spewing your party-line tripe.

"A Fairleigh Dickinson University survey released Wednesday indicates that Christie has a 6 point lead, 45 percent to 39 percent, over Corzine, with 15 percent undecided. Christie had a 9 point lead over Corzine in a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll in April."

The main point is that the Christie lead has DECREASED by 3 points.

So many of these comments are from those who have forgotten that the mild depression we are in now is the fault of the BUSH (worst ever) administration and its misshapen cronies.

Not sure how Robin was able to get three comments into this thread, but at least Robin is well informed!

Just a side note for those outside of NJ making comments here... just a bite of the big picture... Jon Corzine introduced a TAX on GYM MEMBERSHIPS. This is the same party that wants to nationalize healthcare.

It seems to be the liberal way to do do NOTHING to promote a healthy way of life, but at the same time use taxpayer dollars to fund a healthcare program.

I voted Republican once in my life - Whitman – and regretted it. But Corzine stinks, and Christie is no better. Notice not one proposal from Christie about what he'll do about property taxes. No matter who is elected, nothing will change. It will be crony politics, just different cronies. Every NJ politician is in it for themselves and nothing more. I'm 55 and have lived in this state all my life. Since i was a teenager I've been reading letters to the editor in the newspapers from people saying that property taxes in this state will force them to move once they retire. Believe me, it will not change unless we turn out the entire government, and that's from the local level up through the state level, and start over again. I've given up on seeing positive change in this state in my lifetime.

At what point will the Dems decide to take ownership of the direction that our nation is heading? The Dems cannot continue to blame everything on the last eight years. How about some leadership and stop whinning.

What Christie plans is unrealistic to be honest; to either bully or convict everyone that has done even the smallest amount of corruption won't save the state nearly as much money as he thinks. Besides, the governor doesn't do any prosecutions.

Corzine has done okay in the state. He started to clean up the mistakes from Whitman and McGreevy (among others) when the recession hit. If it hadn't happened, then it would have been likely that there would be less of a problem for his re-election campaign.

This campaign is going to be ugly and by the time it is over, both candidates will look worse than they already do. No one wants to vote for either one of them. I'm hoping for some sort of miracle and that a worthy Independent will enter the race.

Bye, bye tax man Corzine.

There's not a ton of difference between Corzine and Christie; it's just two big-government advocates from different parties. The GOP should have nominated Steve Lonegan.

Can any of you left wing lemmings be more original? Seriously, you can't make a comment about the content of the article outside of insulting the GOP with blanket rhetoric. It's people like you that sadly should have to pass an IQ test before being allowed to step into a voting booth.

GENERATE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT!

Everybody now say.....HOPE CHANGE......HOPE CHANGE........if we repeat it long enough things will get better......

If the GOP believe for a moment they would win NJ, they are sadly mistaken. Not with President OBAMA going to the urban area's and turn up his grass roots campaign. VA and NJ will remain Democratic and the Democrats will pick up NY, AK, SC and AL next year. CHANGE never sounds or look better!

Joe: July 1st, 2009 1:00 pm ET

Republican Party is Done.
_______________

Joe, this simple thought crossed my mind also. Mind you, it is not in relation to this Corzine/Christie match up but just about everything going on in the political circle starting most notably during the election campaign. From pugnacity and blantant lies to sleeze. Appalling! I feel sorry for the one man crusader challenging every one who shows an affinity towards the DNC. Living proof that RNC prominence is fading and the ovine followers are dwindling in number since savvy people are beginning to see the light instead of being allowed to be smitten by blind fanaticism. Not every policy of the DNC is espoused by followers (myself included) but at this point it is by far the lesser to two evils.

Taps anyone?

This just once again proves that democrats would rather pay more taxes and give up more of their money and then complain about it, because they voted for someone who taxes more. I refuse to feel sorry for anyone who is suffering financially and votes for a democrat. What you vote for is what you get and if they vote Corzine back in, then expect the same old tax and spend policies, much like the White House these days. Democrats deserve to be poor with the policies they are putting forth.

I lived in Jersey all my life before moving to FL for the last 4 years. I'm 31 and don't like Corzine but you can bet your last buck he's going to win.

Here's the problem: THESE POLLS DON'T INCLUDE PEOPLE 30 AND UNDER WHO USE CELL PHONES

Just like the last election, they are leaving alot of people out.

Corzine has my vote again

Republican Party is Done.

The worst Democrat usually beats the best Republican any day of the week with the exception of Spitzer and Blago. And Corzine is no Spitzer or Blago.

I'm sorry Robin but if you think Corzine is the reason your property taxes went up you are sadly misinformed. The problem in this state has never been with the governor, it's always been because the municipalities have too much power. They are the ones that control your property taxes and keep hiking them up. You can blame Ms. Whitman for putting all that power into their hands making this state impossible to fix. I'm not defending Corzine because he is a terrible governor but I refuse to put another Republican in that will give the rest power to the municipalities. If we think we can't get anything done now it'll be that much worse later.

I wonder how far down states like New Jersey will have to go before they realize the Democrats are going to tax and spend them into the poor house. We'll soon see if they've had enough. If they put a man back in office with a 25% approval rating then they deserve what they get.

The state should just be divided.Give the top to N.Y and the bottom to Philly,it has become their bedrooms.Poor Jersey lost it I.D years ago as the Garden State.It was great then,I grew up there.Whitman is better.

Of course the race is tigtening. Everyone knows that Corzine will win and that NO Republican will ever win NJ. People will complain about Corzine but as the election nears and when the voting actually starts they'll still vote Democrat. The same goes for Arlen Specter. People may not like Corzine but when they look at the alternative and what Republicans have done when they were in power and they recognize that a Republican will NOT make things better, people pick the lesser of two evils. It's another case of NY-20!

Go Dems!

jon,philadelphia July 1st, 2009 12:26 pm ET

Every gov. in the US is in trouble. Look at the cause. GEORGE BUSH and his economic policies have led to this. So people of New Jersey, put a just say no to everything Republican in. To the person who lives in the nice area. Be thankful there were taxes to pay for that niceness. Everyone wants the good life and their area perfect but no one wants to pay. The money has to come from somewhere
=====================================================

Jon, I have no problem paying taxes, and understand they are needed. But over 10K a year for a 4 bedroom house is just unreasonable.

At least I was smart. I bought a house I could afford, with a proper down payment, at a fixed rate.

Whaaat? How can this be? I thought the republican party was dead and that would never win another election? Oh my, this will not go over well with The Messiah.

girlymen love the GOP July 1st, 2009 12:03 pm ET

Christie may be what Jersey needs,she couldnt stand working the liar Bush,so she cant be all bad,Im more about the person than the party,even though I despise republicans.
======================================================

Are dems really this ill informed? Chris Christie is a MAN and former US Attorney.

Christy Todd Whitman is female and was govenor from 1994-2001.

I swear if you vote, you should be required to take a verbal current events quiz.

This is like all those stupid claims that the republicans made last November.

gov. corzine, wil be relected and these pols are bogus,the gop knows and cnn most definetly knows it, how many times does it have to be said ,america is not going backwards. the gop is a cancer,they are out touch with ideas,al they do is attack , and whinn, boo who, and lie. i have seen a party that ever time they open their mouths it a lie.chris christe is a hot air balloon ,waiting to fall back the bottom pit ,the gop. i predict victory for the gov, and that will send another message to the gop,its over deal with it.

I live in NJ, and I have had it with "Tax 'em" Corzine. I live in a very nice neighborhood, but when your house taxes jump $3000 in less then 4 years, there is a problem.

Can't wait for Chris Christie to take the reigns.

Polls are immaterial at this time.
When voting time arrives people will realize they cannot support a party of no, obstruction, hypocrasy, whose main goal is to make our
president fail, consequently our country, a party of big business,
a party who ran our country into the ground these last eight years, and, last but not least, a party who refuses to recognize or support
what the American people want and what is best for us and our
country.
