as they squirm, and dodge, and weave, and whine, and then in utter despair, they say it means nothin', and "a year is a long time in politics"! A year in politics is a long time, but not if your an obama or one of his acolytes, because your hard left, full of pride and you won't change. August of 2009' will be looked at as the beginning of the end for obama and his minions. Voters in mass showed up at those town hall meetings, and voiced their displeasure with not only his health care proposals, but his entire left wing agenda. And in return, they were given the finger by obama. Tonight, those same people are giving obama their finger! This anger is palpable, it is genuine, and it is long running. Liberty and freedom are at stake, and...

Our dorky state AG, Jerry Brown, says there is NO voter fraud in California. Yet, we just learned that a guy convicted of murdering a candidate in the last Mexican election was an illegal living in LA---who had voted in the same US election THREE times!

Now Jerry Brown is running for Cali governor yet again. I wonder how he'll do.

That's the biggest problem: Keeping it honest with these corrupt leftest cesspool dwellers.

...for TWO reasons: Bush raised taxes when he said he wouldn't (sound familiar?) and the people's absolute disgust with all government. Enter Ross Perot who threw the election to Clinton.

Now we have an increasingly unpopular president, unpopular because he's spending like crazy, borrowing like crazy and growing govt like crazy. And more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that BHO actually is crazy. (Look up the definition of megalomaniac.)

Taxes WILL go up. Government control will increase. Inflation will rise. Jobs will go down. Revenues will go down. The dollar will go down. And people are hating and fearing government more and more everyday, as well they should.

As you say, it sounds like history is...

ing and ducking and flim-flamming the Dem Defeat. It's largely a referendum on the Obama Shipwreck and Health Care Ponzi. 65% of white men and women voters in NJ are going with Christie. Blacks aren't coming out like they did for The Bamma. While they are 90% for Corzine, they aren't voting in numbers anywhere near last year.

So, Evil Repubs are possibly going to really make a startling Win. Dead People & ACORN Felons might be the difference...But, so too, might piSSSed off regular above ground-breathing-legal folks.

still runnin the streets, trying to steal the election. If Christie pulls this rabbit out of the hat, the first group he should investigate is acorn.

Put the screws to em. Throw open the doors and let the sun shine in. Frog march em.

And it is a referendum on barry o, yo. Why else would he spend so much political capital on corzine. That preemptive squealing to the contrary is all the proof you need.

If john doesn't pony up NJ, there will be hell to pay.

Giddy up.

"A year is a long time in American politics. In November, 2008 Barack Obama won the presidency of the United States. A year prior, he was trailing Hillary Clinton badly and under fire from his own supporters for not wasting his money as HRC was. A year before that, few people even knew who he was.

In November, 1991 George H.W. Bush's job approval stood at 62%. A year later a folksy governor from Arkansas had unseated him.

In November, 1938 Republicans picked up nearly 100 House seats in the midterm election, and FDR looked to be finished. A (little less than a) year later, Germany invaded Poland and the prospect of world war made FDR the center of the political world once again.

In November, 1928 Herbert Hoover...

...promised to be Santa Claus. We all knew he was Satan Claws.

He doesn't give a rat's behind about balancing anything--only raising taxes and growing government.

I actually believe he's just the Playboy in Chief while his henchmen do all the dirty work. He's more and more irrelevent; simply a figurehead. A West African dictator sitting in the oval office with his feet on the desk, blowing smokes rings from his big fat cigar while his ideological little minions fundamentally tranform the country.

The amazing poll is that 60% of the voters said on their exit poll that President Obama was not a factor in their decision, 20% said they were voting against him, and 19% said they were voting to support him.

I'll say 80% of voters saying Obama is irrelevant is like - an early christmas present.

Americans who are still chanting Obama better look at their wallets because while he is smiling and promising 'a great future' his policies and ideas are bankrupting america by raising taxes, spending money that he has borrowed or printed and giving money to secure jobs for Brazil while saying to americans they can't drill locally.

This election and all following elections should be about AMERICAN JOBS AND AMERICAN ECONOMY....

So, if Christie wins by 1 point, is that a mandate? We know the GOP-er (who didn't even say he was GOP in his ads) in VA will win, but isn't he a RINO?

If it's close, expect the dims to recount it 'til they get the result they want. They'll search all of their trunks until the find enough 'lost' votes to put Corzine over the top. The R's will roll over and play dead, as usual. Just win it big Christie, and spare us.

Every conservative and even the moderates should get out and vote against the radical marxism that has become the Demoncratic Party's ideology. The Demoncrats have destroyed New Jersey, the state is depopulating itself because people want to get away from Demoncratic policies and now they have a chance to throw the bums out of office and try to restore some sanity to New Jersey's policies.
