GOP Captures New Jersey!

November 3, 2009 · Filed Under Politics · 1 Comment

Chris Christie, an aggressive former prosecutor who racked up a perfect conviction rate in public corruption cases and became the darling of New Jersey’s Republican Party establishment, has unseated the deep-pocketed but unpopular Gov. Jon Corzine.

Christie, 47, on Tuesday became the first member of his party in a dozen years to win a statewide contest in heavily Democratic New Jersey. President Barack Obama invested heavily in the race, campaigning with Corzine five times on three separate visits.

Democrats can try and spin this all they want, but republicans kicked some liberal ass tonight. New Jersey is deep blue and far left so it’s a big deal that republicans were able to take it. That said, Corzine was a horrific governor who turned the state into a basket case.

Congratulations to Chris Christie for an amazing victory!
