Election Day

By all rights, Corzine should win this election by more than 10-15%. Why do I say this? Because the state's voter rolls favor the Democratic party, especially when you throw in the strong liberal bent of the media outlets that cover the state. A close race would mean that the Independents and unaffiliated voters associated far more strongly with Forrester's corruption message than anything else.

Corzine will win, but Forrester should win.

Did the last week's worth of bad news make this race too close to call? It's highly likely and there's quite a few undecideds out there that make any of the polls simply unreliable at this point.

And regardless of the election outcome, someone better check to make sure that zombies aren't voting. New Jersey expects to see significant use of absentee ballots this year and that's a situation that makes it way to easy for someone to stuff the ballots, especially when the state has failed its obligation to check the voter rolls against the names of those who have died in the past year.
