Christie Hung on to Win NJ Governor Post

In a stunning upset, Republican Chris Christie defeated Democrat Barack Obama ... I mean Jon Corzine ... to win the New Jersey governor's race Tuesday.

Despite spending $23 million dollars and having Barack Obama campaign for him three times, Corzine, the free-spending liberal and Obama doormat, was tossed out by New Jersey voters in a a clear repudiation of the Obama agenda.

Christie's victory in heavily Democratic New Jersey should send shock waves through the Democratic Party establishment. Earlier in the evening, Republican Bob McDonnell won the Virginia governor's race in another litmus test of Obama's failed presidency.

Look for Democrats in Congress to bail out of Obama's big government, big deficit socialist agenda overnight.

Obama himself told New Jersey voters that the Christie-Corzine election was a referendum on his 10 months as president.

Corzine ran a nasty campaign of personal attacks, including making fun of Christie's weight.

The 300-pound Christie told supporters at a victory rally Tuesday night "we are going to pick Trenton up and turn it upside down."

Update: With 97 percent of precincts reporting at midnight, Christie had 49 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for Corzine. Daggett finished with 5 percent.

Nothing i can add to that.

I'm just relieved that he's getting credit for something.

Conspicuous by its absence in this piece is any mention of the New York House seat (NY-23) that changed hands from Republican to Democrat for the first time since the Civil War.  If the net gain of an additional vote in the House in a poorly-watched off-year election is the author's definition of "Republicans are back", then long may Republicans be back.

Congratulations to the Democrats for winning NY-23.  Considering Doug Hoffman ran without a party and the money to back him, I guess he did pretty well by losing with only 3 percentage points.  Apparently some voters didn.t realize that the Republican candidate didn'r run anymore since 6% voted for her.  This is the same spin used by Nancy Pelosi and Axelrod.  Nice try.
