Chris Christie Wins New Jersey! 49%-45%

It wasn’t even as close as people thought it would be! Chris Christie wins New Jersey gubernatorial race! with 80% of the precincts reporting, Fox News calls the election for Christie, with about a 100,000 vote lead! The Associated Press and CNN are calling Republican challenger Chris Christie the winner of the New Jersey governor’s race, based on exit polling. The actual results are still pretty close: Christie’s ahead 49% to 45% with 85%+ of the precincts reporting. But Christie is doing extremely well in Republican strongholds in Ocean, Monmouth, Morris and Somerset counties, while holding his own against Gov. Jon Corzine in key swing counties, including Bergen and Middlesex counties. Jon Corzine has already conceded to Christie. Christie becomes the first Republican to win statewide office since Christie Whitman, who also defeated an incumbent Democrat, Jim Florio in 1994.
