NJ Polls Close — Too Close to Call

Nets calling NJ-Gov as too close to call. This squares with what I’ve been hearing through the afternoon: exits polls saying dead even. Another round of exits likely to come in soon. More shortly.

8:05 PM: Hotline has NJ exits with Indies breaking overwhelmingly for Christie and with some evidence that Daggett supporters broke for Christie. Not good for Corzine if that bears out.

8:09 PM: Remember New Jersey has a strong Dem party registration advantage. So Corzine can still win even while losing independents in a big way. But the big story of the night, thus far, especially in Virginia is Democrats and Obama voters just not showing up. So this is really going to come down to whether the Corzine campaign can turn out Dems in big numbers.
