THE GARDEN OF HOPE NJ ELECTION '09: Christie: It all comes down to turnout now

(AP).Less than 36 hours before the polls open, Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie asked party faithful in Republican-heavy Ocean County to vote , and to remind their friends and neighbors to do the same.

Christie spoke Sunday evening at the Holiday Inn in Toms River in one of his last pre-election rallies in his neck-and-neck campaign to unseat Democratic incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine.

"It all comes down to turnout now," he told an exuberant crowd of some 400 during a half-hour speech. "It comes down to who wants it more.", who's more."

"Jon Corzine is running $30 million worth of TV ads trying to make you scared of what a Christie administration might look like," Christie said after reeling off a number of areas where some studies have shown New Jersey to be worst in the nation, including for property taxes and business climate. "How much worse can I do?"

The crowd roared approval.
