Let Chris be Christie

    Mark Levin has a Facebook post that takes a critical look at some comments New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made in his appearance on This Week this past Sunday. Levin is concerned that Christie is soft on immigration and Obamacare. “Regarding the former, he sounds like John McCain three years ago. ‘Commonsense path to citizenship.’ Regarding the latter, the cost of joining with the other | Read More »

    Don’t Mess with Christie

    New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wasted no time yesterday in vetoing two tax increases passed by the Democratic legislature. Christie signed his disapproval of the measures reinstating an expired surcharge on “millionaires” almost before the ink was even dry on their pages. Video here. State Senate President Steve Sweeney, who is also a private sector union boss, let his thuggish ways show just a bit | Read More »

    That Christie Speech

    Moe was ahead of the curve and discussed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s budget speech to the state legislature here.  But all who have not yet seen the entire speech should run – not walk – to see it in its entirety. Video can be found here.  Text will be posted after the jump. It is difficult to describe the extent to which New Jersey | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Make a Call for Chris

    With news that RINO DeDe Scozzafava has dropped out of the race in NY-23, and with Republican Bob McDonnell seemingly cruising to victory in the Virginia governor’s race, all eyes are turning to New Jersey.  Republican Christopher Christie is slightly ahead in the polls, with the trend going his way.  A victory for Republicans in deep blue New Jersey would send shock waves through the | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Garbage In, Poll Out

    Suffolk University’s Political Research Center released its latest survey in the New Jersey Governor’s race today, showing Governor Jon Corzine holding a commanding 9-point lead over Republican challenger Christopher Christie, 42-33 percent. Independent Chris Daggett received 7 percent in the poll. The result caused a minor stir on the Internet. A very minor stir, as even a cursory examination of the internals of this poll | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Corzine’s Broken Tax Promise

    Republican Christopher Christie has been hammering Governor Jon Corzine on the issue of taxes in the New Jersey governor’s race of late.  But the New York and Philadelphia media which has deigned to cover the race has wanted to talk about mammograms, traffic tickets, and Christie’s weight.  Chritsie has been relentless in driving the message of lower taxes and slashing state spending as medicine to get | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Despite Attacks, Christie Maintains Lead over Corzine

    Two new polls in the New Jersey governor’s race show Republican challenger Christopher Christie maintaining his lead over incumbent Governor Jon Corzine (D). The Quinnipiac poll shows Christie holding a ten point lead over Corzine, 47-37 percent; while the Fairleigh Dickinson-PublicMind shows a closer race, 47-42 percent in Christie’s favor.

    NJ-GOV: Corzine Smears Christie

    Gov. Jon Corzine’s (D) campaign is launching a new attack on Republican Christopher Christie’s ethics, heralding news that Christie spoke with former White House political strategist Karl Rove about a possible governor’s race while he was the U.S. Attorney for Newark. Asked about Christie during a July 7 appearance before the committee, Rove said he never spoke with Christie about his investigations or other actions | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Corzine’s Major Mistake

    It’s only July, but time is fast running out on Governor Jon Corzine (D) in the New Jersey governor’s race.  Corzine trails Republican Christopher Christie by as much as 15 points in recent polling, and has only polled within ten points of the challenger twice in the last two months.  Even a visit from President Barack Obama has been unable to buoy the Corzine campaign | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Christie Ad Plays Off Corruption Arrests

    Republican gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie wasted little time in seeking to turn the corruption arrests of several local and state officials to his advantage in the governor’s race.  Christie, who as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey under President George W. Bush started the investigation that led to yesterday’s arrests, released a campaign commercial today highlighting his tenure as a anti-corruption crusading federal prosecutor.

    NJ-GOV: Arrests Could Spell Doom for Corzine

    What worse for a struggling incumbent governor than trailing by 15 points in the polls?  Scores of Democratic Party officials – including a member of your administration – arrested and implicated in a widespread official corruption scheme in an investigation begun by your challenger. A two-year corruption and international money-laundering investigation stretching from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn to Israel and Switzerland culminated in charges | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Christie Expands Lead over Corzine

    New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie’s campaign got a shot in the arm today when Quinnipiac released the results of its most recent polling in the governor’s race.

Jon Corzine and now holds a 53 – | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Christie Up Big in New Poll

    Republican former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie leads incumbent governor John Corzine (D) by nine percentage points, 42-33, in a new poll released by Fairleigh Dickinson University. The results should boost confidence among NJ GOP voters that Christie can take down the increasingly unpopular Corzine. Fifty-six percent of respondents said that they have a negative opinion of Corzine, a -23 rating, compared to 31% who had | Read More »

    NJ-GOV: Keep the Money, Chris

    New Jersey and Virginia elect governors this year, and Republicans stand a good chance of taking both. In the Garden State, the GOP likely has a very strong challenger in former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, if he makes it through the primary against former Mayor of Bogota (Bergen County), Steve Lonegan. Christie made his name putting corrupt Democratic politicians in jail, so the primary should | Read More »
