Barbara Buono/Milly Silva: 49.9%
Chris Christie/Kim Guadagno: 44.0%
Nick Gillespie*/Kenneth Kaplan: 5.4%
Others: 0.7%

*Replaced Kaplan on the top of the ticket

Christie/Guagdano 47%
Buono/Silva 46%

Buono wasn't a very strong candidate. On the other hand, Democrats might actually get majorities large enough to make impeachment feasible.

[Lord Admirale]

Christie/Guadagno - 48%
Buono/Silva - 45%

Buono was weak, and made herself look like a fool during the debates.

I'd say this would also cause him to not run for President in 2016 and count him out of any consideration for a cabinet role.
