NJ GOV: Christie Continues To Lead
With 58% of precincts reporting, ex-U.S. Atty Chris Christie (R) is leading Gov. Jon Corzine (D) by 6 points, 50%-44%, with ex-EPA regional admin. Chris Daggett (I) getting 5%. In Bergen Co., a must-win for GOPers in a statewide contest, Christie is still up by some 1K votes with 439 of 553 precincts reporting. It's not an insurmountable lead, but Dems in NJ and DC are nervous.
Meanwhile, Daggett is currently delivering a concession speech from his Basking Ridge HQ.

The state wanted change, and how they have it. It's always a newsworthy story when a Republican wins on the state level in NJ.
