For county board (also meaningless), the Democrat - he graduated from my alma mater. I'll abstain on school board (only one person running anyhow).

I'll bat .600.

Ok, I know this is a libertarian thing and I have quite a few problems with some Republican philosiphy on legal matters, but I really dont see the Democrats as any better or trustwothy on law enforcement. Why would you trust a Democrat more?

Probably because they might not have the hard-on for the drug war that republicans all seem to have.

Hmm... I wonder which "Republican" has been very anti-drug and created the office of Drug Czar"?

I haven't seen a single Corzine ad that explains why I should vote for Corzine.

tommy28 · 11-03-09, 08:55 PM

v. early......

Christie , Chris GOP 151,394 51%
Corzine , Jon (i) Dem 124,952 42%

the big train · 11-03-09, 08:59 PM

You guys must really hate Corzine if you're going to put up with a guy named Chris Christie.

Guy who sounds like an analgesic cream, or a guy who sounds like a really lame new wave band ... tough call.

DGibFen · 11-03-09, 10:12 PM

The AP is saying that Christie has won the election in NJ.

http://wcbstv.com/breakingnewsalerts...2.1290144.html

And in a surprise, the NY Mayoral race is now too close to call:

Mayor New York City
3530 of 6110 Precincts Reporting
NAME VOTES Pct.
William Thompson ((D)) 292,301 48%
Michael Bloomberg ((I)) 297,960 49%

BigDaddy · 11-03-09, 10:20 PM

That Mayor race is crazy. I had no idea it was that close.

wildcatlh · 11-03-09, 10:28 PM

FOX and CNN have also called NJ for Christie. I'm genuinely surprised.

BKenn01 · 11-03-09, 10:34 PM

What about the house race? The Dems are ahead with over 60k votes counted. I guess it depends where those votes are.

I really wanted a sweep tonight to move toward tanking health care reform......

DGibFen · 11-03-09, 10:35 PM

Oops.

Democrat Bill Owens is leading in the 23rd Congressional District race.

The Plattsburgh attorney has 42,019 votes compared to Conservative Doug Hoffman, a Lake Placid CPA, with 39,012 votes.

Dede Scozzafava, a Republican who dropped out of the race Saturday, has 4,578 votes.

Owens now leads in Jefferson, St. Lawarence, Franklin, Clinton and Essex counties.

Hoffman leads in Oswego, Oneida and Madison counties.

Four precincts in St. Lawrence County are having mechanical problems and total results for the county won't be available tonight.

Mayor New York City
5859 of 6110 Precincts Reporting
NAME VOTES Pct.
William Thompson ((D)) 486,721 46%
Michael Bloomberg ((I)) 532,726 51% (W)

Looks like Bloomberg will win, but it's a lot closer than what he wanted.

NBC NY said that Corzine didn't prepare a concession speech because his team was sure he would win.

His margin will grow.

Still, doesn't seem like a great roi.

DeputyDave · 11-03-09, 10:53 PM

NBC is calling it victory for Christi in NJ.

Pharoh · 11-03-09, 10:55 PM

Hoffman closing, but I am not sure if all of St. Lawrence is in.

Hoffman didn't do enough in Jefferson. I don't think he can catch up.

I guess it's not a winning strategy to call your opponent fat in a state where 1/5 of the adults and 1/3 of the kids are obese.
