Christie made calls with former Gov. Christie Whitman, right, at Republican headquarters in Monmouth. Enlarge This Image Ozier Muhammad/The New York Times Christopher J. Daggett, center, the independent candidate for governor, talked with Antonio Frazier on Broad Street in Elizabeth on Monday. He also visited Montclair and Ridgewood. The others, all firmly backing Christopher J. Christie, the Republican standard-bearer, looked startled. “What has he done for us that’s helped in any way?” said Santa Hartmann. Mr. Reisner, who gathers with the same group each morning at Panera Bread here, said the governor had won his vote by expanding the “senior freeze” on property taxes and preserving his $1,200 rebate check. Helen Hunt shook her head. “Anybody that would ride down the parkway at 90 miles an hour without a seat belt doesn’t have much judgment,” she said. Cities like Newark and Camden have gotten a lot of attention in the race so far, as Mr. Corzine worked to drum up enthusiasm among core Democrats in urban neighborhoods. But many analysts say the contest is likely to be decided in the suburbs — as New Jersey elections usually are. On Monday, Mr. Corzine swept through bedroom communities like Lyndhurst and Clifton along with Newark and Hoboken; Mr. Christie stopped in places like Nutley and Livingston; and Christopher J. Daggett, the independent candidate, was in Montclair and Ridgewood. No suburban area is more important than Bergen County, with more than 530,000 votes at stake, potentially accounting for 12 percent of the total vote, said Peter Woolley, director of the PublicMind Poll at Fairleigh Dickinson University. A Republican has never won statewide without carrying Bergen County, and Mr. Christie has paid close attention to the region, giving major speeches in Paramus, and boasting of his successful prosecution of the former county Democratic leader on corruption charges. (Mr. Corzine, for his part, chose a state senator from Bergen, Loretta Weinberg, as his running mate.)
