Exit Poll Proves Voters Are Not Voting For Christie, They’re Voting Against Corzine

Bookmark and Share   As the composition of today’s election for Governor of New Jersey begins to become clear,   an dummiesexit poll has shown some good news  and some bad news.

When Chris Christie voters were asked whether they voted for Christie or against Corzine, 42% of them answered that they voted against Christie.

This echoes my own sentiment. This election is less about Christie or what he stands for and more about our dislike of Jon Corzine and what he has done the state.

In my own final decision, I allowed myself to believe that my vote was deciding vote.   With the outcome of the election hypothetical, up to me, I asked myself who do I know I will feel better about if tomorrow I found out that they will governing us for the next four years?

Knowing that a vote for Corzine is a ticket on the Hindenburg and seeing as how Chris Daggett will apparently do nothing but shuffling around the disaster that Corzine created, I decided to vote for Chris Christie. I was only comfortable in my decision because of a leap of faith. Christie has done nothing to make me feel confident in him. To the contrary, I have many doubts about him.

However, given the alternatives, I felt my best choice was to go with Christie, hoping that he will use the principles of the Republican Party, that he represents, to guide him through his policy decisions and governance of our state.

I can only hope that my faith is not betrayed. And based on the 42% of people who only supported Christie because they oppose Corzine, apparently I am not alone in that sentiment.
