Chris Christie For Governor, wins New Jersey


Former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie (R) unseated Gov. Jon Corzine (D) in New Jersey, and former Virginia Attorney General Robert McDonnell (R) won an open seat in Virginia.


McDonnell had been seen for weeks as the likely winner in Virginia over Democrat Creigh Deeds, but the Christie-Corzine race had been seen as a toss-up. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele announced he was headed to New Jersey as news organizations began to call the race for the Republican.
In a third race being watched closely across the country, Democrat Bill Owens held an early lead in the face to win an open House seat in New York.
The victories by McDonnell and Christie give the GOP hope a year after devastating defeats.
Republicans have cast the races as a referendum on President Barack Obama's early tenure, arguing that they are the first in a series of comebacks for the party. Others have said it shows voters are willing to give the GOP a second look.
Exit polls showed just 42 percent of voters considered Obama in casting their votes in Virginia, however. Just under a quarter used their vote to express opposition to the president, while 18 percent said their vote was to support Obama. In Virginia, 20 percent of voters made their picks to oppose Obama, while 19 percent were trying to support him.

Obama campaigned several times for both Deeds, a state senator in Virginia, and Corzine. He made a stop at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., last week, then held two rallies on Corzine's behalf over the weekend.
McDonnell ran his own race, eschewing social issues that have long been part of the Republican strategy. Instead, he focused on his plans to bring jobs to the state, as well as a plan to ease transportation woes.
Deeds, meanwhile, focused on a thesis McDonnell wrote as a graduate student more than two decades ago in which he called working women “detrimental” to families. The tactic worked briefly as Deeds closed what had been a large gap between the two, but McDonnell reasserted himself and eventually pulled away.
McDonnell was partly able to win by mitigating his own losses in areas where Democrats have made inroads in recent wins. Obama and Sens. Jim Webb (D) and Mark Warner (D) won Arlington County and Alexandria City with more than 70 percent of the vote while carrying Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William Counties.
Obama won Northern Virginia with 61 percent of the vote, while Deeds fell far short of that mark.
In New Jersey, Christie ran against a highly unpopular incumbent who never saw his poll numbers rise above the low 40 percent mark. Corzine was beset by ethics investigations into his administration while answering for his state's sagging economy.
Corzine attacked Christie for his actions in the U.S. Attorney's office, including trips Christie took during his tenure and a loan he gave an employee. Many suspected Corzine's only path to victory was to make Christie as unpopular, if not more so, than he was.
Christie gained momentum in the race's final days, however, and thanks to Daggett's fading support, was able to pick up the seat. It is the first time Republicans have won a statewide election in the Garden State since 1997.
Though Republicans claim the races show the party is getting a second look from voters frustrated with Obama's policies, local issues dominated both contests.

APTA has Jai and Nandagi in the lead and is directed by Meera Kathiravan and seems to be a melancholic love story set against a rural milieu. First of the songs picturised on Jai and new girl Nandagi was a melodious duet Nee Otta Sollu…, picturised against village background. The song looks to be an establishment song of the hero’s great love and feelings for his lady love.
The second song on children in school, Kuchoo, Kuchoo, Kuchoo Vandi… obviously hero and heroine’s first pangs of love looks similar to Poo song. The third song screened a pathos Vadakko Thekko…. is the pick of the lot and has been rendered in a heartfelt way by Malayalam singer Vineeth Sreenivasan, who is debuting in Tamil with this song.
Among those who came for the function include Hansraj Saxena COO of Sun Pictures, directors Balu Mahendra, Mahendran, Thangar Bachchan, Sasikumar,Perarasu, Mysskin, Ameer, Partipan, Pandiraj, Susindren , Sasi, Venkat Prabhu and actors Bharath, Ganja Karuppu and the lead pair Jai and Nadagi.
