Tweedle Dum, Dee tied in New Jersey

The Yankees and Phillies were nice enough to take a day off from their little baseball playoff thing today, to allow the good citizens of New Jersey to vote for their governor. So tonight, instead of debating who’s the bigger idiot, Charlie Manuel or Joe Girardi, New Jerseyites will be voting on who’s the bigger idiot, Jon Corzine or Chris Christie. And it’s a very close call. According to Pollster.com, the race is literally a tie:

It’s a shame Cliff Lee isn’t on the ballot; he’d win in a landslide. Even Yankees fans would be compelled, by the sheer force of Cliff Lee’s will, to vote for him. Instead, we are faced with two possible options: 1) Christie wins, which means Obama is OMG DOOMED; or 2) Christie has the election stolen by ACORN, in an act of blatant fraud personally spearheaded by Obama and his Chicagoite minions. (There is, of course, no possible scenario in which Christie could legitimately lose. There is only glorious victory and fraudulent defeat. I know this because the Right told me so, and the Right in 2009 is the Left in 2000-2006.)

Either way, one thing is certain: once it’s over, everyone will breathe a big sigh of relief, then get back to the important business of baseball.

So, anyway… um, Gooo Corzine, Beeeat Christie?? Ah, never mind, who cares, they’re both terrible.

By the way, I’ve got a predictions thread above. Have fun!

P.S. As noted in the predictions thread, the biggest election of the night is, of course, the one in Newington, Connecticut, the usually Democratic town that surprisingly elected Republican Jeff Wright to the mayor’s office in 2007 by a margin of 54.9% to 45.1%. Wright is now battling for re-election against Democratic town council member Thomas Bowen in what has become a heated race. Needless to say, the Wright-Bowen contest is a referendum on President Obama, and its outcome will single-handedly determine the future of his administration and indeed the entire nation, if not the world. 😛

P.P.S. Elections! Wheee!
