NJ Republicans Predict that Christie's Coattails Will "Change the Legislature"

PolitickerNJ is reporting that the Republican Assembly caucus is increasingly confident that Gov. Christie has coattails.  At a Statehouse press conference today,  Jon Bramnick, the NJ Assembly Minority Leader, announced that “[s]tarting today, the war is on and the war is to change this Legislature.” 

All 120 seats in the Legislature are up. Right now the Senate tilts Democratic by a margin of 24-16 and the Assembly tilts Democratic by a margin of 48-32.  Bramnick believes that the GOP can pick up 9 seats in the Assembly; at the press conference he predicted that Christie would be campaigning for Republican candidates in tight races.
