PolitickerNJ is reporting that the Republican Assembly caucus is increasingly confident that Gov. Christie has coattails. At a Statehouse press conference today, Jon Bramnick, the NJ Assembly Minority Leader, announced that “[s]tarting today, the war is on and the war is to change this Legislature.”
All 120 seats in the Legislature are up. Right now the Senate tilts Democratic by a margin of 24-16 and the Assembly tilts Democratic by a margin of 48-32. Bramnick believes that the GOP can pick up 9 seats in the Assembly; at the press conference he predicted that Christie would be campaigning for Republican candidates in tight races.
