The two candidates for Governor in New Jersey had the first of two debate showdowns on Tuesday night at William Paterson University. Watch a full replay of the debate here.
Heading into last night's Gubernatorial debate, challenger Barbara Buono was way behind in all of the recent polls, so she needed to try and do something to jump-start her campaign.
Governor Chris Christie and Democrat challenger Barbara Buono went head-to-head in their first debate of the gubernatorial election talking jobs, taxes, gay marriage, the athletic department controversy at Rutgers and Christie's presidential ambitions.
The lead over Sen. Barbara Buono was huge for Gov. Chris Christie in an August poll conducted Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind and in today's survey it's even bigger.
The lead for Gov. Chris Christie over his Democratic Gubernatorial challenger, State Sen. Barbara Buono remains significant, but likely N.J. voters are not impressed with the substance of either candidate's campaign.
Gov. Chris Christie is often asked if he plans to campaign for Republican candidates as the GOP fights to retake control of one or both houses of the legislature.
