I'm going to keep hammering and hammering and hammering, and if I can't get the information maybe the U.S. Attorney can. -- Assemblyman Rick Merkt (R-Mendham), on the state budget. Both Merkt and Christie are potential candidates for the 2009 Republican nomination for Governor.

GOP will hold in District 1 & District 2.
GOP holds in 1 & 2 with everything working against them. Even the PRESS of ATLANTIC was instructed to issue a fake poll only 2 days prior to an election.
This is one of the most irresponsible moves by a newspaper even by New Jersey standards. JOHN FROONJIAN of the AC PRESS will be the laughing stock of other journalists since his name was used to issue the fake results.
Getting out of the DEMOCRATS 4 BILLION DOLLAR a year DEFICIT will get the NEW GOP PARTY back in control starting TUESDAY.
Asselta and McCoullough Will Lose
Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Cape May, and Atlantic counties will be run by Democrats by the close of the polls on Tuesday. All power and influence will for the first time " run through the South" . The six Southern Counties will be united and have a real opportunity to establish the State agenda for many years.
'Splain to Me Sumpin Lucy...
How is it that Cryan gets no credit or blame and is listed several slots below Codey and Roberts...but Wilson ends up north of DeCroce and Lance and has the responsibility that Cryan doesn't? I think you're right about Cryan and the same holds true for Wilson...he's not running the legislative races...DeCroce and Lance are. Me thinks in this instance your distaste for Mr. Wilson has colored your thinking Mr. Edge.
Sorry Sticks
While I do not consider it a forgon conclusion that all of the races will go Dem, it is pretty clear that Whelan will win, and Nick and Jeff will come to the wire, with the edge going to Jeff.
It won't even be that close, blue
Nick will concede by 10 pm.
By their own account, the poll that the Press "was instructed" to release (by Martians, presumably) fails to account for the following:
"Independent voters were breaking for Van Drew 2-1. Eighteen percent of poll participants said they were unaffiliated, but 47 percent of registered voters in Cape May County and 64 percent in Cumberland are independents. That swing vote may be under-represented in the poll."
This tells us all we need to know about why the Press was more definitive in their headline and their lede. The margin is actually two or three times what you see.
So now that the results are in Wally What Say Ye???
How'd the stakeholders fare?
Tom Wilson Is A Winner?
You could hand him every winning lottery ticket picked for a month and he wouldn't be a winner.
I still don't get
How Cryan and Wilson deserved to be judged differently. Does anyone think Wilson has more juice with County Chairs or Leg Leaders than Cryan does?
