We’ve been talking about the upset in Virginia and what looks like a red wave sweeping through that state, at this point, with the top seats all being called for the Republicans.
But that’s not the only race that could be an upset. A bigger upset may be underway in New Jersey — my former deep deep blue state. It was impossible to predict Jack Ciattarelli would even be able to become governor. Phil Murphy, everyone expected that he would become a walkaway, even though Murphy is hated widely and New Jerseyans are unhappy with every one of his mandates.
Even if Ciattarelli doesn’t win, with more than 56 percent in, he’s up by more than three points at this point, which is incredibly shocking for Democrats. Talk about a national bellwether between this and Virginia — they have to know how bad this is.

Let me warn you: Essex and Passaic still have to come in. They don’t have enough numbers yet, and are expected to heavily support Murphy. Hold on, and keep your fingers crossed.
But in my old county of Bergen, Ciattarelli is up — 53 percent to 46 percent, a county Murphy has won easily in the past.
It is already an amazing race and it will be tight.
It’s a party night that will make you twirl your hair. This event is sweet for Republicans and Democrats.
