The Orthodox Union blog notes how Orthodox voters went Republican around the state — calling them the “long suffering swing voters of the Jewish world, preferring to vote on issues rather than parties”:

In New Jersey, challenger, and now Governor-elect, Chris Christie won every district in Lakewood save one (h/t Lakewood Scoop). As well, while hometown pride may have given the Democratic ticket the edge in Teaneck (8,784 for Corzine-Weinberg; 3,197 to Christie-Guadagno), as it is from where the Lt. Governor nominee, Senator Loretta Weinberg hails, the heavily Orthodox areas of town gave Christie most of his votes there — some 2/3 of his township tally – totaling 2,210 votes for the winner.
