2017: NJ Gubernatorial/legislative elections

[Suburbia]

Nothing against her, but she's way too low energy. I feel like the NJ GOP should have gone with Ciattarelli. He wouldn't have won, but it would have been closer for sure.

Ciattarelli would have given Murphy a tougher challenge. He'd still be leading in the race, but by 10-15 points. Ciattarelli would have gotten more enthusiasm.

Guadagno is no Christie Whitman.

I will be voting for Murphy-Oliver 2017 this November, but hopefully they do a good job. If not, a Republican will be elected in 2021 if they can distance themselves from Christie/Guadagno.

If Murphy raises taxes like crazy like Florio did in the early 1990s, he'll be another Democratic one-term New Jersey governor.

Guadagno stumbles with the Confederate flag issue.

This is the NJ 2013 gubernatorial results map. Christie in 2009 and 2013 won places like Glen Ridge, a suburb near Montclair, won Woodbridge, Old Bridge, Sayreville, South Amboy in Middlesex (my area). He won those places probably because of property taxes and jobs. I wonder if Murphy will win back some of those areas that Corzine won in 2005.

First general election governor's race is tonight:

It's sad. Christie decimated the NJ GOP, and this election is not being talked about as it should be. It's New Jersey!

[Suburbia]

It looks like Somerset County, N.J. may be a battleground state between Guadagno and Murphy, especially with the Somerset County Republican Freeholder 2017 campaign attacking their Democratic opponents with some tough advertising.

Very high Democratic turnout in Republican-friendly intelligentsia Westfield.

Bramnick and Kean could lose tonight because of Chris Christie.

I voted in NJ today for Murphy. Hopefully, he does well as Governor of N.J.

State Senator Jennifer Beck defeated. Her NJ GOP career is probably over.

[Suburbia]

Who is the future of the NJ GOP? Bramnick is underperforming.

[Suburbia]

Poor Jen Beck.

[Suburbia]

Poor Bramnick. He's a good man, but too close to Christie.
