Especially after the 4 years of gridlock that is to come in NJ. I already heard the question asked by some fool in the MSM, "Will New Jersey now turn down stimulus funds"? Can you believe it? This state has a LOT of fiscal problems AND has to have a balanced budget evey year. Corzine just happenned to become govenor when many of these problems came to a head. The dude had nothing but bad choices. No wonder he was not liked. I'm surprised he even ran for re-election with all of the fiscal problems that are coming down the pike. This election was about killing the messenger more than anything else. Obama is beloved in NJ, so it was certainly not about him. If Christie tries to govern here like a rightwing zealot from Alabama or something, he will run into a buzzsaw. The NJ legislature is as blue as it gets. I don't see how anything gets done over the next 4 years. In fact, they'd better get all of the progressive legislation they can in front of Corzine before he leaves.

Booker would be a great choice for Gov. He has done wonders for the cesspool that is Newark, NJ. Race would be a factor though, as NJ has a whole lot of closet bigots. After, Christie finishes wrecking the state though, they might be ready to elect of Gov. of color here.
