New Jersey, Nov.4, (THAINDIAN NEWS) New Jersey election results had been quite disappointing for the Democratic party, as the Republicans came out victorious. Republican candidate of New Jersey, Chris Christie has won the election by defeating the veteran politician and Governor Jon Corzine. It has been a great loss for the Democrats as they have never lost election in this state since 1997.

President Barack Obama must be disappointed with the results as he had attended several of the campaigns for the Democratic candidate of New Jersey. He was present in two Sunday rallies for Mr. Corzine. It has come to the news that David Plouffe, the former campaign manager of the President, had forewarned him not to have too much expectations from this election.

Local issues had been said to be the main highlights of the New Jersey elections. Analysts consider that Democrats, by winning the elections of major states could secure some mental strength before mid-term polls of 2010.

Democrat Governor Jon Corzine, who was the Democrat candidate for the election, had made several bitter statements against the Republican candidate. He raised the point that the candidate had some kind of relations with George W. Bush, the former President of the country. In his campaigns, he had also raised issues like the weight of the candidate, his views on health care system and abortion. Chris Christie won even after such immense efforts were made on the Democrat’s part.

According to sources, the Democrats also lost the Virginia election. These two are counted as the major elections of the country and earlier had been a strong base for the Democrats. The results of the other elections are awaited.
