FUCK THE POLICE
911 EVERY DAY
By a greater margin than even Rasmussen predicted. The polls were massively thrown off by Daggets presence, and, like I predicted, Dagget voters split to Christie.
That's at least 2 correct predictions for me as of now. The fascist take over of America is imminent.

Republican Christie captures NJ governor's race
(AP) – 21 minutes ago
TRENTON, N.J. — Republican Chris Christie has defeated Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey.
With 71 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, Christie had 50 percent of the vote to Corzine's 44 percent.
Christie, a 47-year-old former federal prosecutor, became the first member of his party in a dozen years to win a statewide contest in heavily Democratic New Jersey.
The Republican victory deals a blow to President Barack Obama as he readies for next year's midterm elections. Obama campaigned heavily for Corzine.
Christie accepted public financing in the race against the wealthy incumbent and was outspent by more than $12 million.
He ran on a platform of smaller government and criticized Corzine for what he called poor economic stewardship. State unemployment was nearly 10 percent in October and property taxes are the nation's highest.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Republican Chris Christie took an early lead in a tight New Jersey governor's race against Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine, with an Associated Press exit poll showing independent voters strongly favoring the GOP candidate.
With 44 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday night, Christie had 49 percent of the vote and Corzine about 44. Independent candidate Chris Daggett, originally feared as a potential spoiler, had about 5 percent.
Voters had their pick between Corzine, the unpopular incumbent who had help from President Barack Obama, and Christie, a blunt-talking former federal prosecutor who vowed to rein in taxes.
Obama endorsed Corzine in five campaign appearances, including a rally in the state's largest city on Sunday, two days before the election. Corzine faced a strong challenge from Christie, who has campaigned on a platform of smaller government but has been criticized for ethical lapses.
Daggett, a former Environmental Protection Agency administrator, appeared to be out of the race after the AP exit poll showed him in the single digits.
The poll suggested the state's voters were not thrilled with their choices. No more than about half the voters had favorable opinions of any of the candidates.
Independent voters gave President Barack Obama a huge advantage in the state last year, but they strongly favored Christie on Tuesday.
Voters said their top concerns were the economy and jobs, followed by property taxes.
Voters who said the economy was important favored Corzine, while voters who said taxes mattered most supported Christie, according to the exit poll. About two in five voters said none of the three candidates had a good plan to reduce property taxes.
Jackie Booth, an unaffiliated voter from Hamilton, said concerns over wasteful spending and taxes drove her decision to vote for Christie.
New Jersey voters haven't elected a Republican statewide in a dozen years, and a Christie victory would sting the president heading into next year's midterm elections. Obama carried New Jersey by 15 percentage points last year.
The president made the case for Corzine over the weekend, urging 11,000 supporters in Newark to show the commitment to the incumbent they showed Obama last year.
The president's appeal worked for Roger Johnson, a 50-year-old restaurant employee from Cherry Hill who said he had qualms with Corzine but voted for him anyway.
"I went in to help the president. I wasn't going to vote for Corzine," said Johnson, a registered Republican who usually votes for Democrats. "But I did."
But many voters are disenchanted with Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs CEO who failed to deliver property tax relief to the middle-class.
He froze property taxes for senior citizens and provided rebates for low-income residents, but taxes remain the nation's highest, averaging $7,045 per household.
Christie has been criticized for remaining vague about how he would solve the state's chronic financial problems.
The only other governor's race this year is in Virginia, where the Republican won.
The exit poll of 1,872 New Jersey voters was conducted for the AP by Edison Research in a random sample of 40 precincts statewide. Results were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, higher for subgroups.
That's at least 2 correct predictions for me as of now. The fascist take over of America is imminent.
