  1. Christie Kreme’s ok with the outcome…

  2. Not as widely noticed as the VA Senate race but critical none-the-less: we must take back governorships to succeed longer term; Republicans have proved how important state/local control is in the long game.

  3. Speaking as a New Jerseyan, I can only hope we finally get an honest man as Governor. Christy was a horror, perhaps the worst in my lifetime in NJ but Corzine and McGreavy before him were little better.

    Dear Phil Murphy,

    A short sincere request from New Jersey residents - Please do not be a Jerk. Please do not behave in the sketchy manner of Jim McGreevey, Jon Corzine or Chris Christie. Please work tirelessly to govern without the ridiculous drama that we have had for the past 16+ years!
