2009 Elections: GOP Sweeps Virginia; Polls Close in NJ; Update: Fox Projects Christie Win in NJ!

Update at 10:20: Fox projects Christie the winner in NJ! AP reporting it as well. A humiliating defeat for Corzine and a huge blow to his benefactor, the guy in the White House. Let the state-controlled media spin begin.

10 pm Update: Christie up by about 100,000 votes at 50-44% with 65% of the votes in. Live blog here. NY-23 results slow with Owens over Hoffman 50-45% so far. In one race we haven't mentioned--the NYC mayor's race--with 30% counted it's a virtual tie. Michael Bloomberg outspent Bill Thompson by 10-1. A Thompson win there would be unthinkable.

9 pm Update: Christie leading in NJ. He's up 52-41% with 18% reporting. More importantly, independents supposedly are breaking heavily for Christie, resulting in an Intrade collapse for Corzine. More here. Keep your fingers crossed. Meanwhile, you can follow NY-23 here and anything and everything here.

Polls are closing now in New Jersey, so you can follow this link for updates. We'll update as necessary. State-controlled media already spinning a possible Corzine loss as no sweat for The One. Except for the fact Obama took up residence here the past few weeks. It has nothing to do with him, and it's all about these angry people.

The GOP has won big in Virginia with Bob McDonnell blowing out Creigh Deeds, currently at 62-37% (follow for updates at that link). No wonder Obama threw this guy under the bus a couple weeks ago. So much for the GOP being a losing brand, eh?

NY-23 closes at 9 ET. Absolute hysteria from the left there today.

Plenty of updates throughout the night here with an open thread here.

For Democrats looking to grasp at straws, they're a near lock for the 10th Congressional District in California. They'll be in panic if that race is close and out on ledges if they lose.
