Christie Will Face Corzine
Chris Christie (R) won the Republican primary for governor of New Jersey, CQ Politics reports, “earning the nomination to challenge incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine in what is expected to be a competitive race this fall.”
“Christie — who was declared the winner by the Associated Press a little more than two hours after the polls closed at 8 p.m. eastern — lived up to his status as the consensus front-runner in the GOP contest, while Corzine easily defeated three lesser-known contenders in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.”
