First off did Christie get the NJ 2012 Obama vote?
Second, did Christie voters split the ticket and vote for the dem legislative candidates or did they just vote for Christie and ignored the legislative races. In any case Christie won big but Republicans did not gain seats in the NJ Legislature. I find that strange
1. Probably not. According to exit polls, he got 31% of liberals, 61% of moderates, 32% of democrats, and 66% of independents. Its likely they either split even or went about 60% Buono. Lets also remember a lot of D's stayed home.
2. Yes, there were plenty of Christie/D on everything else voters. That's why we saw absolutely no change in the legislature.
