Today is election day in good old New Jersey

Today is election day in good old New Jersey,and I am on ballot,running for council in borough(town) of Fort Lee.Since I running as Republican,in very Democratic town 3 to 1 edge for the Democrats.However,Chris Christie the Governor is very popular should win New Jersey by double digits and maybe even carry Fort Lee but don't think so,but this year,in New Jersey not the nation, Republican could win Fort Lee.The last Republican to win a council seat in Fort Lee was Joan Voss I think it was 1994.Since then Ms.Voss has become a Democratic and she now Freeholder(a county legislator in New Jersey)for Bergen she isn't up for re-election this year.The Freehold board in Bergen County is made up of seven member four Democratic and three Republicans.All three Republicans are up for re-election and because of Christie they might win but it most likely would be close.Bergen County once was powerhouse for Republicans but those days are long gone,today it's Democratic county but a Republican still can win.
