That was my voter number in my voting district today in New Jersey’s primary election for Governor. When I finally voted (Unfortunately, I was the “on-the-job training case” for the “poll ladies”), the polls had already been open for 45 minutes.

Given that Corzine is running unopposed in the Democrat primary, it is logical to assume that whatever turnout there is will be mainly made up of Republicans. In my voting district, all the Republicans would probably fit in a phone booth. My guess is that the poll ladies got to spend a good deal of time chatting and eating donuts today.

So, in short order (the polls close at 8PM), we should know which candidate will face Jon Corzine (the “Jersey Zilch”) in November. I wish I could get stoked about a possible Republican victory in the general election, but for too many years I have seen the Democrat Machine crush Republicans in this state. The political system is simply rotten to the core.

Maybe this year will be different. Hope springs eternal.

  2. Mrs. Parkway voted at 5:30pm and was number 15. Absolutely pathetic.

  3. Sounds so much like Illinois… I bet I could move there and never notice the difference. *grin*

  4. Corzine is a cipher. He is from central Illinois, the son of farmers (it don’t get any redder than that, even in a traditionally blue state). He went to the Univ of Illinois (conservative), was in the Marines ROTC program, and ran one of the biggest capitalist companies in the world for years.

  5. Corzine is a snivelling,rich-boy phony who can’t look you in the eye.He got bored being our ineffective Senator with his senile, left-signal- flashing partner, and now he’s about to become our governor. He’s beholden to Sharpe James, Jim Mc Greevey, Wayne Bryant, Regina Thomas, Kushner the Convict, and every other Democratic hack.He couldn’t hit Kate Smith in the a** with a handful of rocks. How many kids took this guy’s lunch money in fifth grade ?

    My choice has to be for Forrester, who has the personality of a stone. Bombastic, mega rich alpha male who couldn’t get a female vote in Clinton Prison with a handful of pardons. As warm as Allen Greenspan, this overassured, self absorbed corporate executive couldn’t get elected dogcatcher, yet he is the Republicans’ choice. What about Tom Kean Jr. or Chris Christie?
