I can tell you from watching the local TV coverage Christie has some explaining to do.

The local media here are not buying his act and think he should move the election to November this year. I believe when the polls come out the people of the state of NJ will say the same thing. This is too cute by half.

Concerned that a special election for the Senate seat on the same day as his race will draw out enough Democrats and unaffiliated liberals to cause him to face a closer election for Governor than he wants. As it stands now, he's on-pace to win easily between crossover voters and the Democratic nominee for Governor being rather uninspiring leading to low voter enthusiasm on the Democratic side and expected lower turn-out.

Im a Californian and it makes me so angry when I hear liberal pundits and my liberal TV anchors sugar-coating this Governor. When Hurricane Sandy hit....he only did what a freakin Governor is SUPPOSE to do. He didn't do NJ a FAVOR ! Cause that aint a FAVOR....but an OBLIGATION ! We have 50 states in this country and I could'nt even imagine a Governor NOT...doing what they're suppose to in times like Sandy ! I wish I could see NJ rally around Barbara Buono...and then see her WIN !!!!
