Christie Victory in NJ Sends a Message to Obama

By now you have heard the news, Republican Chris Christie has won the race for governor in New Jersey. The race was both tight and difficult, but Christie won out over slimeball Gov. Jon Corzine. But there is more to this victory than a simple seat at the highest office in New Jersey.

For the last couple of days, President Barack Obama has been campaigning for and with Corzine. He gave speeches, he had photo ops, and even gave idiotic quotes about "selective memory." Well, as election 2009 comes to an end, it looks like the voters have selective memory too, Mr. President.

You see, regardless of Obama's cult of personality status amongst die-hards, the tides are turning for him with independents and even some Democrats. The "prestige" he lent Corzine was nothing more than a few words and a few jabs at Republicans. Corzine still lost by five percent, and imagine for a second if he didn't have the President's support.

The thing is, Christie's victory sends a message right to the White House steps. The President can no longer lull people to sleep with empty words and broken promises. He can no longer blame the Republicans for the Democrats' problems. And the cult of personality that got him into the nation's highest office is fading and losing luster as fast as he breaks campaign promises.

Congratulations, Mr. Christie, rule New Jersey well.

Christie Wins in NJ!

NBC News is calling the New Jersey Governor's Race for Republican Chris Christie. Despite the fact that Governor Corzine has poured millions of his own money in and received great support from President Obama, this is an upset. Republicans have been seen as potential winners before, but this actually was carried through.

This is so good for the people of New Jersey. First, a corrupt slimeball like Corzine is booted out. Second, an anti-corruption candidate Christie has won.

As Corzine Slips, Obama Steps In

New Jersey Jon Corzine has been called corrupt and incompetent during his tenure in the Garden State. He has presided over an untenable budget. He has recently raised taxes, attempting to balance the budget, but it appears that his move has come too late.

In exchange, the people of New Jersey appear ready to kick him out. A recent Quinnipiac poll places him behind likely Republican challenger Chris Christie 53-41. Also, Corzine's disapproval rating has hit 60%.

New Jersey, though, has a history of liking Republican candidates at first glance, then not voting for them. Take the 2006 election when corrupt incumbent Senator Robert Menendez (appointed by Corzine) beat Tom Kean, Jr., the son of a former three-term governor.

So the latest news is that the President is going to travel to the Garden State to help his ally.

So will it be enough? I don't believe that the President will have a huge impact, although it is definitely possible that many of the newly registered voters could be convinced to come out on election day, giving Corzine an "artificial" victory. By artificial, I mean that the number of informed voters would go for Christie, but a large group of uninformed new voters could vote D for the sake of it. Christie may also not show much prowess in electioneering, just as Tom Kean, Jr. did in 2006.
