Just five hours to go in today's Republican gubernatorial primary in New Jersey between former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie and ex-Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan. The winner takes on Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in November. (A review of the primary here.)
Here's the latest look at our 2009 political calendar:
June 9 -- Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary. Gov. Tim Kaine (D) is barred from seeking re-election; Virginia is the only state that limits governors to one consecutive term. Democratic candidates: former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe, ex-state Del. Brian Moran and state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds. Bob McDonnell, the former state attorney general, is the Republican nominee.
July 14 -- Runoff in CA 32, between Judy Chu (D) and Betty Chu (R). Christopher Agrella, the Libertarian Party candidate, is also on the ballot. The winner succeeds Hilda Solis (D), who resigned to become secretary of Labor.
Aug. 4 -- Detroit mayoral primary. Dave Bing, who won a special election on May 5 to fill the remainder of the term of Kwame Kilpatrick, is expected to seek a full term.
Sept. 15 -- New York City mayoral primaries. The City Council waived term limits to allow Michael Bloomberg, elected twice as a Republican but now an independent, to run again. He will most likely be on the GOP line again. William Thompson, the city comptroller, is the likely Democratic nominee.
Nov. 3 -- ELECTION DAY.
