With 64 percent of precincts reporting, Republican Chris Christie is leading Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine 50 to 44 percent in the New Jersey gubernatorial race.
The race is still too close to call. With important bellwether precinct numbers yet to come in, Corzine has been holding on.
But, as TPMDC’s Eric Kleefeld explains, two counties which voted against Corzine in the last gubernatorial race — Monmouth and Ocean — have swung even further away from the governor this year.
We’re still a ways away from calling it, but things aren’t looking good for Corzine.
Late update: In a more troubling sign for the governor, GOP sources tell TPMDC RNC Chairman Mike Steele is boarding a plane bound for New Jersey.
