Too many promises that can never be paid, and those to whom the promises are made will keep voting for their fulfillment.

Impossible!! He is sooo full of crap, he could NEVER crap out. . . sorry, that was the best I could do with the available material. Seriously, who is going to pay for the "o"'s visits to NJ to campaign for the loser? The taxpayer? Probably so, but what can you do? Squeal on , trolls. . . . Obama crapped out?! Impossible!!

Maybe it can start in New Jersey. Okay, probably not, but one can dream. I'm a former New Jerseyan, Mr. President, and, no, I don't know who you're talking about. Who the heck is Cousin Pookie?

They are screwed for the foreseeable future between the public pension obligations, unions and the electorate dependent on Trenton. I really think the state is screwed.

NJ has ruined itself through political corruption, and Massachusetts is in the same boat. Of course instead of fixing the messes they made, the Mass-holes keep moving to my NH to escape Boston's insanity. But then, after they move up here, THEY VOTE FOR DEMS. It's ludicrous. If you don't like your mess, change your ways, but don't move to other states and then make the same messes there. I really don’t think people understand freedom or socialism.

I believe Christine Todd Whitman made good use of it by defunding pet projects to districts of state dems who were overly hostile to her agenda. I've been out of New Jersistan for just over 2 years. I am still bitter over the 1% tax I paid on the net sale price of my house even though I sold it at a 15% loss from purchase price. What BS. Even though he wasn't a friend of the second amendment, I long hoped Christie would run with his credentials fighting corruption in the most corrupt of states. NJ needs a good house cleaning. I wish Christie luck. Now if NJ voters would just do us all a favor and vote that dinosaur Lautenberg back into retirement. #1 Phineas – As I recall, unlike POTUS, the governor of NJ possesses the power of the line item veto on appropriation bills.

I am going to pretend that I am a second rate Joel Kotkin. New Jersey's future looks dim. At best, it may take a minimum of five to ten years to turn things around. Yesterday's election results seem to indicate that a slim majority of that state's citizens want to half heartedly give the GOP a chance. That's not good enough. I don't get the impression they realize the extent of their economic problems. How does John Corzine lose by about only five percentage points? This does not make a bit of sense. He should have easily been defeated by a 15-20 point margin. “But my house is still for sale and I’m still leaving New Jersey.”

Chris Christie only achieved a modest victory. He needed a butt kicking 15-20 point win. The voters did not send a clear message to the employee union bosses and other scoundrels. New Jersey will continue to lose population to the red states. It will get bluer. The state is royally screwed. “There is only so much Christie can do when the Democrats and public sector unions control the legislature.”
