21. Way too close for what it should have been...

....but then I don't know Jersey politics at all.

I do know McAuliffe slit his own throat with so many dumb moves.....giving the gop a lift and win in a state that went Biden +10.

In my opinion, he was a warm over "Clintonite", and had as much charisma as wet toast. Congress fucking around with Biden's signature infrastructure bills made more fodder for youngkin.

Get the bills passed. Make it clear...WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE AND BIGGER with Democratic majorities in Congress. Our hands are tied behind our backs with sinema and manchin...BUT THEY GIVE US THE RAZOR THIN MAJORITY WE NEED.

Get done what we can...NOW! And come back for more in 2022 when we can have two Senators vote against us. This is our chance. The cult and gQp are licking their chops.

Glad he won, but even his win is a five alarm fire. bearsfootball516 Nov 2021 #6

NJ hasn't re-elected a Dem Governor since 1977 so it would have been busness as JoanofArgh Nov 2021 #7

True. People need to know that. This is HUGE for Dems! n/t Greybnk48 Nov 2021 #13

Thanks and good. Wasserman only comments when he is confident JohnSJ Nov 2021 #8

So with two close Governor's races, score tied 1-1 Zambero Nov 2021 #9

NJ wasn't supposed to be close. Polls had Murphy ahead by 8%. Klaralven Nov 2021 #11

The polls are one thing Zambero Nov 2021 #14

I think the problem with polls is BarackTheVote Nov 2021 #22

Lots of the younger cohorts don't have wireline phone or if they do, let all calls go to voice mail Klaralven Nov 2021 #24

If all that is left are the mail ballots, I really don't think it is going to end up close at all ColinC Nov 2021 #20
