Analysis

New Jersey's race between Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine and Republican challenger Chris Christie is considered a nail-biter. And I figure it to be a tossup. Either one is a good prediction. Independent candidate Chris Daggett might be the best choice; but a big shift his direction would be required to pull off an upset (a la Jesse Ventura in the 1998 Minnesota race).
