Democratic Governor Jon Corzine faced only token opposition in today’s primary. With 87% of the precincts reporting, Governor Corzine has swept to victory with 78% of the vote and then officially kicked off his re-election campaign with Vice President Joseph Biden in West Orange.

“Barack Obama and Joe Biden are committed to Jon Corzine’s re-election. Period. End of sentence,” Biden said just after polls closed at 8 p.m. “We need Jon Corzine at the helm.”

The GOP primary was more hotly and bitterly contested. Conservative Christopher Christie,a former U.S. attorney under former President George W. Bush, bested his ultra-conservative opponent Steven Lonegan, the former mayor of Bogota, by a 55% to 42% margin. The full results are at New Jersey.com.
