Corzine Loses to Antigay Republican


CHRIS CHRISTIE JON CORZINE X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM

Republican Chris Christie unseated Democrat Jon Corzine in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, taking nearly 50% of the vote to Corzine’s 44%.

Corzine supports same-sex marriage while Christie backs amending the state’s constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.



Despite Christie’s win, the New Jersey legislature is widely expected to vote on a same-sex marriage bill during the lame-duck session between Tuesday’s vote and January. If it passes, Corzine has pledged to sign the bill.

    Comment:

    Corzine can blame himself that the voters picked someone else. He was a total fraud and failure.

    Comment:

    When leaders do not deliver what they promise during the campaign, people change their votes. It's a common law. It can also happen to Obama if he's not able to deliver his promises.
