[hrmjustin]

1. Just remember that in NJ GOP areas usually come in first.

[Tx4obama]

4. And in most states the bigger cities come in later. n/t

[hrmjustin]

6. Yep.

[Tx4obama]

2. Thanks for posting a link. I was just fixin' to have to go find one :)

[warrior1]

3. You're welcome

[octoberlib]

[onehandle]

10. 99% chance, so yes. nt

[octoberlib]

15. RichGirl, Tx4Obama

Thanks all!

[RichGirl]

11. This happens in Virginia too....

I've worked precincts in rural areas and cities. Votes in rural areas take half hour, if that to count...cities can take hours. Even though I know this, it's still hard in the beginning of elections when the repub is ahead.

[Tx4obama]

12. Another link in Comment #7

Yes - I believe Cory Booker will win

[Tx4obama]

7. An additional RESULTS link from The AP

Here: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2013/by_state/NJ_US_Senate_1016.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

Might be good to add it to the OP up above too

[Dawson Leery]

8. Early.

[warrior1]

9. Cory's ahead

[Robbins]

13. 4% In

Booker-54%
Teabager-45%

Dem being ahead this early Is good sign.SOme said the republican areas report first.

[msanthrope]

14. Senator Booker will be in DC by the end of the week. nt

[Robbins]

16. Yep

He will be only black elected senator. The tea party black senator from SC was appointed.

[Tx4obama]

17. Heard yesterday that the election results will not be certified until first week of November

haven't heard anything else since that.

[msanthrope]

22. His office will be set up long before certification and swearing in. nt

[Tx4obama]

25. He can't boot Chiesa out of the office space. n/t

[msanthrope]

33. Jeffy never really moved in-- Lautenberg's staff took a good long time cleaning out the

office in preparation for the actual Senator to show up. He had his office in a trailer.

And Jeffy crashed at a friend's. Wifey and kids stayed in NJ.

[Tx4obama]

36. Oh, okay. Thanks for the info - I hadn't heard about that :)

I am so very thrilled that NJ has taken the seat back !!!

[RBInMaine]

19. 7% in Cory now ahead by 15 points. I think the TeaBagger is going DOWN !!

[FarCenter]

18. 5031/6330 precincts, 55% Booker, 44% Lonegan, called for Booker.

Booker vs. Lonegan: County-by-county voting results in U.S. Senate election

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/booker_vs_lonegan_county-by-county_voting_results_in_us_senate_election.html

[Robbins]

21. Update

Booker 57% Lonegan 42%

[hrmjustin]

20. I think it will be a 10% win for Booker.

[cali]

23. I think it will be closer to 20%

[hrmjustin]

26. Not likely in NJ. Not as dem as here in NY. If it were presidential turnout maybe. But the guy is

nuts so you maybe right in the end.

[Robbins]

24. Booker

He's ahead by 15 points now. He has this.

[hrmjustin]

28. Good. I hope I am wrong. Normal non-presidential democratic wins in NJ are 10%.

[brooklynite]

27. Just to be clear, we don't like Booker, right?

I've read here that he's a "DINO" and a "corporatist whore", so it must be true.....

[ChangeUp106]

31. Don't like might be too strong

But otherwise you're pretty much correct. I think I saw someone write an article that pretty much said "Wall Street Dems like Corey Booker's future in the Party is Over Before It Started." AKA: The base of the party is moving strongly in one way and he's still going the other way.

[brentspeak]

34. Cory Booker is, in fact, a corporate hooker

He's simply less bad than a tea puppet Republican senator. That's all he has going for him.

[msanthrope]

35. The troll, Hannah Bell/Hi Point Dem didn't.

Note to the jury--the ratfucking, banned troll, Hannah Bell/High Point Dem hated Cory Booker, and spent much time driving down Democratic support for him.

[Tx4obama]

39. I watched that series they did on him (Brick City) where they followed him w/cameras

... showing all the things he was doing every day.

I like him.



Brick City: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442064/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_18

[ChangeUp106]

29. 53-46 Booker

760 of 6330 precincts reporting

[Robbins]

32. Remember

the democratic areas might not be reporting much yet.

Remember this is special election and It is showing the idea dems aren't coming out to vote in low turnout elections Is wrong.

[ChangeUp106]

37. Results with County/Precincts Breakdown

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/booker_vs_lonegan_county-by-county_voting_results_in_us_senate_election.html

Just don't scroll down to the comments. Teabaggers everywhere (as is the case with every newspaper website).

[Robbins]

40. Your right

That happens alot.

Being ahead by 6 with some areas not counted Isn't bad.

[pacog]

30. Early congrats to Sen Booker

Make NJ proud!!

[ProSense]

38. I voted one minute after the polls open

I only wish we could get rid of Christie.

[Dawson Leery]

41. 22% in (Republican leaning areas) Booker still leads by 6.5%

Wait until the blue areas come in.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

42. Aren't Newark and Camden going to come in later due to the size of the population? Not too worried.

[Dawson Leery]

43. Yes.

Middlesex county (middle class Democratic county) still has to come in.

[FarCenter]

44. Camden 327/345 in, Essex 181/550 in

But Union, Middlesex and Mercer counties have light returns so far.

[hrmjustin]

46. Camden is in and he ran about 4% behind Obama's 2012 win.

[FarCenter]

47. Returns look very light compared with 2012 presidential election

United States presidential election in New Jersey, 2012
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_New_Jersey,_2012

Camden - Obama 153,682, Romney 69,476
Camden - Booker 37,326, Lonegan 20,300

There are still 18 precincts out in Camden

[hrmjustin]

48. Looks like the whole state is light on turnout. The local NY news did not make a big thing of it so

that is why it might be light in norther NJ. I suspect the Phili press did not make a big thing of the election either.

[FarCenter]

52. Using the ratio of precincts reporting, I'd estimate 1.35 million votes while 2012 was 2.125 million

[hrmjustin]

57. That is horrible turnout for NJ.

[FarCenter]

65. It looks certain to set a new record low for turnout in a general election in New Jersey.

[FarCenter]

64. Correction -- 2012 presidential vote was 3.6 million in New Jersey.

With 2952/6330 precincts in, we have 337,993 for Booker and 259,881for Lonegan.

I get 1.28 million votes projected.

[FarCenter]

85. There are 5.46 million registered voters in NJ -- 1.8 million registered as Democrats.

[dorkzilla]

45. I'm sure Booker will win, but I can't believe it's this close...

Partially because I expected maybe 10 people to vote for him (if they could get a day pass).

[Robbins]

50. Booker

He has ticked up a bit from 52% to 53% Teabagger remains at 46%

[dorkzilla]

56. I would have bet Booker by +/- 20

Especially after the Teabagger had Caribou Barbie stump for him the other day.

[ChangeUp106]

49. 55-44 Booker

Middlesex rolling in now

2477 of 6330 precincts reporting

[hrmjustin]

51. I hear in exxex county where Newark is in that the numbers are great for Booker.

[ChangeUp106]

53. 83-16 for Booker in Essex

[Robbins]

54. Latest

Booker 55% Teaparter-43%

His votes are starting to come In.

Now Booker-54% Teaparter-44%

[hrmjustin]

58. I heard it looks like lonigen will win Ocean county by about 30K when Christie won that county by

70K when he won in a close race.

[Robbins]

62. wow

That's not good doing 40k less than Christie.And christie won In somewhat close race.

I am hoping booker wins by more than 10 since the MSM keep going on to his lead dropped to 10.

[hrmjustin]

67. To me a win is a win. The turnout is so low.

[warrior1]

55. Woot

[Robbins]

59. Booker 55% Teaparter 43%

Back to 12 point lead for booker.

edit after i saw i pushed wrong number

[RBInMaine]

61. I think you mean 55-43.

[cali]

60. oh just call it already, you horse race hungry gits. booker has this in the bag.

[UtahLib]

76. LOL - gotta love a horse race. n/t

[RBInMaine]

63. Stick a fork in the TeaASSHOLE ! Booker now up by 13 points.

[RBInMaine]

68. 50% and Booker ahead by 13 points. TeaPUKE is DONE !

[Robbins]

69. Yes!

So much for the MSM's Booker is falling memo.

Dems go back to 55,including sanders and King,to 45 with Booker taking back Lautenberg's seat.

[Tx4obama]

66. In the 2008 NJ senate election

Frank Lautenberg got 1,951,218 votes

but that was in a presidential election year.

[RBInMaine]

70. Can a New Jerseyite please tell us how many more blue areas need to come in.

[FarCenter]

74. Mercer and Middlesex are still mostly out.

Cities are Trenton and Woodbridge/Edison/New Brunswick.

[RBInMaine]

77. Thanks ! It looks like Booker could landslide this in the end. :-)

[FarCenter]

79. He's doing from a couple points better to a few points worse than Obama on a county by county basis

Obama won by 18%. I'd put Booker at 15 or 16% points in the end. There are some small Republican counties to go yet.

[Robbins]

71. 52% In Booker-55% Teaparter-43%

Take that Tea party.

[RBInMaine]

72. AP is calling it ! BOOKER WINS ! TeaPUKE GOES DOWN !!

[sufrommich]

73. AP has called it for Booker, so has ABC.

Sorry I can't link.

[RBInMaine]

75. 58% in and Booker up 13 points. Can he go higher? What's left? Landslide?

[warrior1]

78. K

[hrmjustin]

80. Booker won Lonigans voting district 128 to 93. Lonigan got 4 votes in Bookers district.

[Robbins]

81. That has to hurt

Booker wins Lonigans voting districk and he only gets 4 votes In Booker's district.

[hrmjustin]

82. I love how some idiots on twitter are saying 13% is close.

They like Cnn think it is too close to call.

[Robbins]

83. Too CLose to call?

Booker has been ahead virtually all night.DOuble diget win close.Booker won higher than Christie's 2009 win.

[hrmjustin]

84. Politico of all people should know that 13% is a landslide.
