GOVERNOR:
New Jersey -- There is no way anyone looking at the state's economy can say things are better now than they were four years ago. Jon Corzine (D), who quit the Senate four years ago to seek the governorship, knows that. His negatives remain high. But, with the help of millions of dollars in attack ads -- much of it financed from the wealth he attained as a former Goldman Sachs executive -- as many voters see the race as a referendum on his Republican opponent, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, as they do on Corzine's performance of the past four years. Christie had hoped to use his reputation as a crime-fighting former Justice Department official to topple Corzine, an in fact he had a double-digit lead in the polls for much of the year. The race is considered a tossup. Complicating the race is the presence of an independent on the ballot, Chris Daggett. Some polls indicated he was taking more from Christie than from the governor, but as we approach Nov. 3 his numbers have begun to shrink.

It's In Your Hands
The direction of New Jersey is up to you as you're being asked to cast a ballot for our next Governor.
The race between Democrat Jon Corzine, Republican Chris Christie and independent Chris Daggett couldn't possibly be any closer according to three major polls released just yesterday. The winner could be determined by how independents break and who gets the most votes by mail.

After harsh campaign, NJ voters to choose governor
In one of only two gubernatorial races in the nation, New Jersey voters will pick a governor Tuesday in a race in which President Obama has shown he has a stake.
Obama has endorsed Gov. Jon Corzine as a partner in five campaign appearances, and a win by the Republican former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie would sting the president ahead of next year's midterm elections.
Corzine faces a strong challenge from Christie. Independent Chris Daggett and nine little-known others round out the field.
The race in New Jersey is a tossup. The other governor's race is in Virginia, where the Republican leads in polls.
New Jersey voters haven't elected a Republican statewide in a dozen years.
