" Fox News Odyssey project said John core -- Jon Corzine loses this election but isn't really that Dick -- want it to mean what what happened in this race."

" I don't think so I mean I think Corzine's incumbent governor within the approval ratings he had the most most consultants -- pundits would say those numbers terminal. The -- joke he lost Christie yes I think you know you're looking eight could you give. If -- gonna stronger candidate initiative really really done some damage here is brilliant win this thing in the 100000 votes maybe tell that margin throughout the night. And we'll see how that holds up but. Look I that I really think that this is about. People thrown out the ends with the with the outstanding and if if George Bush for president states today. -- in the repulse there was a Republican governor of New Jersey be throwing and throwing them out and in moving the democratic. And what's really significant is now -- hit. And Hoffman up in New York point three independent third party candidates. Are getting so enough support to affect the outcome or or mess -- metal with the two parties. I think. Both parties' incumbents should look out in ninth in 2010 its mistake to think either parties' incumbents are safe they're both in trouble and get us."

" Is there right -- these independent or seven surging canas splinter Republican Party or is this a really dead message tonight debt. For the Democrats joined out of Virginia and now an incumbent today in New Jersey guy."

" Respectfully disagree with Joe -- there's a huge when you go from -- from. Haven't a 16000 vote margin in a Republican candidate for years ago and having -- 79000. Vote margin means you got a lot more turnout. In a Manger also win a bunch independence we do know that and Virginia the exit polls -- in New Jersey the exit polls. Four years ago show independents going for Corzine this year and it shows independents going significantly for Chris Christie Republicans looked the same people blue state. Shot that John McCain got 42% of the vote Barack Obama got 57. And tonight we are seeing Christie. Winning it with close to 50% of the vote in a three person that's."

" As a threat that the this this -- surging candidate that day in the course of -- much of an impact today in New Jersey -- it. But there's I would certainly did upstate."

" New York and he did because he represented mainstream Republican views in the Republican candidate who was nominated by eleven county chairman sitting in a pizzeria turned out not represent Republican views. I don't disagree with did -- pointed. That incumbents have got to worry this is here once there's going to be a lot and predictability but this is this state is a bad news story for the Democrats. President Obama came here fan made five stops vice president Biden was here they jumped to millions of dollars in this they're Republican was outspent three to one. At the end of the campaign and cores on -- spent just north of thirty million dollars and in the Republican less than eleven point five million -- Tonight a bad."

" Newsnight the Democrats some -- I -- I am saying don't miss read this and think. Republicans are we surgeons say if they're going to be problems for incumbents regardless of ideology party. Whatever it 2010 of the economy still worry is some stuff some problems we're facing in. We're not -- things done on Capitol Hill thought back to -- Bret Baier Brett. Our greatest moments ago got a reaction from the Republican Governors Association the chairman of that governor Haley Barbour releasing a statement. I -- Chris Christie secured a major victory for the Republican Party. And he said defeating a deep pocketed incumbent in a democratic state like New Jersey is a tremendous accomplishment and signals the beginning. Of the GOP's. Come back we're back with the panel Brit and Juan -- this is significant. How significant. Well I think it's there."

" Tomorrow when narrative of this moment will be that this with a loss for the Democrats in which you've got to understand is. Democrats control the state you can talk about this is a blue state but effective the people who turned out to vote tonight is not the same people turned out to vote. In 2008 and then gave the state to Barack Obama again. -- were young people fewer blacks fewer Hispanics fewer those people who were sort of energize. But the people who didn't turn out the people who did turn out tonight had sent a clear message of discontent. And it's even overcome the fact that the state is organized and held by democratic interest people who might have turned out both in the middle of the night of the -- you. That didn't matter of the machinery the Democratic Party machinery could not deliver New Jersey."

" The change of demographic behavior that want to describe the voting behavior very demographic group is a reflection. A vote of a different story of another chance tonight is a change in intensity in this election. Democrats had the intensity year ago they turned out in record numbers. Particular groups within the Democratic Party turned it in really record numbers now intensity is always -- all know -- do so with. With a tea party movement with a protest votes and so on. And that's why you see -- Corzine was unpopular for a lot of reasons and you could make a pretty good cases Christie had been a better candidate who won by more I think that's probably a fair statement. Nonetheless so tonight between you put -- McDonald race there's a pretty attractive candidate and McDonald ran discipline race on the issues. On just on bedrock conservative issues. -- together with a lawsuit by Corzine and New Jersey and you do have a very different atmosphere in picture in this country had to figure out."

" Much more to talk about the political landscape -- Chris Christie obviously former US attorney. Now we're projecting the next governor of New Jersey is also a guy who's seen. 120 Bruce Springsteen concert he's been no wonder what song he's gonna be second to -- tougher than the rest what is it that that could be it and you know that one of the things he was attacked by by the Corzine campaign. The race got so nasty in the city New Jersey that the local ads in the city of New York in the city of Philadelphia which border New Jersey. Were saying how fat he was that and then on the radio. Chris Chris he's like okay I'm fat look at you you're balled it came down to that any wonder how it affected the exit polls. Coming up we've heard what the pundits have to say. What did the people who just walked out of the -- the ballot moose had to say."

with the energy to the ticket I think it was great. That Senator McCain named her the ticket and quite frankly going around talking arizonans they said with all due respect to John. By putting Governor Palin on the ticket. He gave us a reason to vote for the Republican ticket rather than merely voting against Barack Obama and that's why I don't begrudge Governor Palin. Coming in and and doing banners showing her gratitude to Senator McCain by. By coming in to do a couple of events for I think we all understand the notion of gratitude and and -- political favors that that's okay. But I think what's very instructive -- if you go to the new media when she first made that announcement. On the wall over FaceBook page people were -- Governor Palin what about JD. And now I understand -- now I understand over the last week. There's a new page on FaceBook Sarah Palin fans for JD. And I think that sums it up its --
McCain -- let's just real quick for our viewers that you're challenging Senator McCain in the Republican primary. Win win is that gonna happen. In in if you don't. Beat. McCain in the primary will you

the next 48 hours might feel emotional but. No Republicans certainly not John McCain . He I think Republicans are caught -- in much of the Spirit. Of this weekend and of this historic moment and I think that John McCain and his concession speech and George Bush in the way he handled the transition. Deserve at least a good chunk of the credit for how smooth this transition has been for Obama. Let me ask you and Bill Sammon how are you surprised at how moderate. And centrist. Barack Obama has been so far this policy in his next. Outlook when you have 80% of the public behind you if you want to keep from the -- an 80% of the public. Does not believe what it what Nancy Pelosi is kind of far left members of her caucus believe so I think that what makes us think -- and the centrist. Is is what we've seen in him. Fighting for tax cuts which is an idea that they're Republicans like him a lot of modern American flight and standing up to Nancy Pelosi and -- at her. More far left members I think will be a strategy that that Republicans will enjoy why.
