How weird. They just closed the polls and 0 percent of the votes are in and they called it for Christie already. What is going on in New Jersey???

it means the urban areas haven't tallied and reported their votes. Let's hope that's what's happening.

suspect we should start to see things turning for us soon, I predict when 20 to 25% of the vote is in.

It is quite possible that states like Virginia may start to make Florida less of a must win for Democrats in the future, though I think even Florida is getting sooooooo tired of what the republicans have done to their state
