Corzine Won
Its not so much that Corzine did anything, but when you have the Independent canidate on your side, criticizing Christie throughout the entire debate, you can't lose. You also can't lose when you have a Republican canidate who is asked the same question three times and can't come up with any specifics for his plans.
Christie Did Well
I didn't think that Corzine was all that impressive. He stumbled a lot and was uncomfortable, but Christie showed passion and conviction. I think Christie won this debate.
Daggett did criticize both sides pretty evenly, so I don't think it necessarily helped Corzine any.
Daggett won!
Which of course means Corzine wins. Daggett looked and sounded like a Governor. Christie is just fat, sloppy, and angry.
(No subject)
Corzine came Across awkward.
He was shaky and nervous it seemed.
Christie Victorious
Chris Christie demonstrated once again why he deserves to be the next Governor of this state. Indeed, the problem for the Governor was that all of New Jersey was watching...
re
Who actually watched the debate besides political junkies? It'll have no bearing on the election....
Daggett has credibility
Daggett has credibility which helps Corzine. Daggett and Christie will split the anti-Corzine independent vote, and since there are more Democrats than Republicans Corzine will win.

Christie Victorious
I think you underestimate us New Jerseyans. People truly understand the significance of this election given the state of our economy
To put it simply my friend, tonight manifested itself as yet another indicator of how out of touch the Governor is with this state and furthermore, how indefensible his record is as Governor on both a political and economic level.
It's time to pass the torch of leadership onto a new man - Chris Christie.
