Chris Christie Defeats Jon Corzine

Republican Chris Christie has defeated incumbent Democrat and ex-Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) exec Jon Corzine to become New Jersey's next Governor.

It appears indepentant voters heavily favored Chris Christie in today's vote.

Voters could have been tired of the same old politics that John Corzine espoused. Finally, a Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) executive does not get what he wants, however, he'll probably receive some sort of bailout soon since GS is on the resume.
