Two New Polls Show Christie Expanding Lead
A new Quinnipiac poll shows New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D) trailing challenger Christopher Christie (R) by ten points, 47% to 37%, among likely voters, with independent Christopher Daggett running third with 9%.
The same poll in early August showed Christie leading by juts six points.
Meanwhile, a new Fairleigh Dickinson poll shows Christie leading Corzine by five points, 47% to 42% among likely voters. In this case, Daggett was not listed as one of the choices.
Last month’s FDU poll had Christie leading by juts four points.
The Austin-Boston Connection
Just published: The Austin-Boston Connection: Five Decades of House Democratic Leadership by Anthony Champagne, Douglas B. Harris, James W. Riddlesperger Jr. and Garrison Nelson.
“For the more than fifty years that Democrats controlled the U.S. House of Representatives, leadership was divided between Massachusetts and Texas. When the Speaker was from Texas (or nearby Oklahoma), the Majority Leader was from the Boston area, and when the Speaker was from Boston, the Majority Leader was from Texas.”
