An independent candidate running for New Jersey governor has made a bold prediction: Republican challenger Chris Christie will not win the race. Chris Daggett believes he’ll pull the upset victory on Nov. 3. If he doesn’t, he said Jon Corzine will win re-election. “It’s either going to be Jon Corzine or me,” Daggett told The Associated Press today. “(Christie’s) campaign has gone backward since June.” Once ahead by double-digits in independent polls, Christie has seen his lead steadily evaporate. Latest polls have Corzine and Christie about even, with Daggett and Corzine gaining momentum.  

Daggett believes there’s enough voter discontent to propel him over the finish line first. He’s been critical of “politics as usual” by both major parties. AP
