Once the presidential election has ended, New Jerseyans will have no time to recover because we will be thrown immediately into the 2009 gubernatorial race. Should Governor Corzine decide to run again, his most likely GOP opponent is U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, although it is certain many more will throw their hats into the ring. Here's the latest Quinnipiac University poll on a potential Corzine-Christie race. It shows that at this point and time the gubernatorial race has the potential to be very competitive.
