[Video below.] Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie easily won reelection Tuesday, defeating Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono with the largest margin in almost 25 years and setting the stage for a possible run at the White House in 2016.
Christie was leading Buono by a margin of 60 percent to 38 percent with 98 percent of the vote counted.
His victory is the most lopsided since 1989, when Democratic Rep. Jim Florio beat fellow Rep. Jim Courter, a Republican, by 24 points.
Here are excerpts from Christie’s victory speech at his headquarters in Asbury Park.
- “We stand here tonight showing that it is possible to put doing your job first. To put working together first. To fight for what you believe in yet still stand by our principles and get something done for the people who elected you.”
- “I did not seek a second term to do small things. I sought a second term to finish the job. Now watch me do it.”
- Christie said his job was transformed when Hurricane Sandy dealt a crippling blow to the state. “It’s no longer a job for me. It’s a mission.” The mission, he said, “is to make sure that everyone, everyone in New Jersey who was affected by Sandy is returned to normalcy in their life, and I want to promise you tonight that I will not let anyone, anything, any political party any governmental entity or any force get in between me and the completion of my mission.

Pack Your Bags
My dear American Jews, pack your bags and get out of there. Don’t be stupid. Don’t close your eyes. Don’t pretend you don’t know. Get out of there while you can! The only place in the world to go is to Eretz Yisroel, because every other place is ruled by these maniacs, and even the State of Israel is ruled by the same Reshaim but at least here in Eretz Yisroel, we have Kedushas Eretz Yisroel. We have a promise from Hakodosh Boruch Hu that the land of Israel will not be destroyed, and that it is the safest place for a true Jew to be now.
Of course you can’t come to Eretz Yisroel and do Aveiras on purpose, and decide that you are going to be safe. You have to come with the desire to greet Moshiach, which will demand from you much Teshuva, which will demand from you to take yourselves apart piece by piece. Look inside of your hearts. Look inside of your souls, and see where you have been wrong, where you have gone against HaKodosh Boruch Hu, where you lack belief and Bitachon, where you lack Emunah and Bitachon, where you lack your Yiddisha heart, where your heart has become hard with the Gashmius that you have absorbed in the United States of America. But Boruch Hashem soon there will be no United States of America. There will be a land either dominated by evil, or that Hashem will totally destroy, or both.
I beg you, open your eyes. Open your eyes and see what’s happening.
It’s easy to go take your money and buy a house in Eretz Yisroel, and design it, and make it fancy, but it won’t help you. Someone else is going to live there if you don’t do true Teshuva, if you don’t pull down the Mechitzah of the Egel HaZahav so that you can come close to Hashem.
I am begging you. Please, I am so worried. I am so worried about my fellow Jews, really worried. Please come back to Hashem. Throw away your toys and come back to Hashem before it’s too late.
