" The election to. Street 51 as we go back to the race for governor New Jersey where political watchers have their eyes on Bergen County. "
" They point out that no Republican has ever won statewide without carrying that county. Joining us live on the news -- Peter Woolley had fairly Dickinson university thanks for being with us Peter. And the suburbs are without a doubt key in today's election for governor in New Jersey aren't they."
" Because he's really a suburban state you know people concentrate on the turnpike corridor from the Lincoln Tunnel to the Walt Whitman bridge but really outside that term. Quite Carter it's. It's his state of leafy suburbs and actually it's fairly competitive parties."
" And those areas outside the turnpike you're talking about used to be pretty reliably Republican but not so much lately."
" That's right when estate went back and forth between peace and ours. Republican mind all their votes from those bank suburbs. Today there -- a lot more people living in those suburbs those suburbs Sorrell a lot more diverse. One county Bergen County actually produces more votes than any other -- For both Democrats and Republicans."
" Wow what the polls shown so far in terms of which three people are leaning in Bergen."
" Well it's it's a tight race all over. Does the state and virgin is no exception there. The governor picked a running mate lieutenant governor candidate from Bergen -- that's part of the importance he attached to that. Of course one of the old democratic losses from Bergen County was prosecuted. By the Republican nominee Chris Cristi. "
" I just wondering with a high disapproval numbers for Jon Corzine. They argue but I just above 50% when I've seen committed to you seem to. Does that does that make it really difficult for him to win reelection or is Chris Cristi not just see this scene is not a very good. Alternative."
" Well couple things go on there you're right about 50% -- actually more than 50% disapprove perhaps an unfavorable impression of Jon Corzine. So we're pretty sure he's not gonna get 50% of the vote. But of course. Chris Cristi. Has been. Has been in its operation here and here's a third party candidates. It's not clear that Chris Cristi going to be able to pull this one out even know. Corzine is so popular."
" Peter do you care to venture a guess that a step how web Bergen County he'll go to. Tonight even statewide."
" Well I think this is the trick with Bergen County. If -- gonna win he's gonna have to do really well in Bergen County but Corzine only have to do okay he only has to really stayed about even in Bergen Catholic. So if you want to keep your mind one thing that would be it."
" I'm Peter -- sincerely Dickinson ready to talk about to have a bag of dynamic the radio talk about that two years or four years you know. I saw it."
