Talk:2013 New Jersey gubernatorial election

Time for reassessment -- stub class??
There is so much data here that I can't believe it was assessed as a stub. 173.61.139.203 (talk) 18:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Stub class removed. That was clearly way outdated.--JayJasper (talk) 18:27, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Christie "faceted" seven opponents?
I didn't want to jump in and make a poor edit at the exact moment this article hits the spotlight, however dimly lit. In case it just reflected my ignorance, I did not change faceted to faced in a sentence in the article's lead. Around the time the election result was first reported, it appeared thus:
 * He [Christie] faceted Democratic nominee Barbara Buono and six others in the general election.

I am pretty sure that the word should be faced. I only know one closely related set meanings of faceted (having faces or aspects), in which many-faceted is an approximate synonym of many-faced rather than a meaning of "faced many" that would have seemed more suitable here, at least for the six others. As a land-slide re-election of an incumbent against at least one poorly funded and at least six poorly supported candidates, this probably won't break the top ten most visited Wikipedia articles. But I remain curious. Was the use of faceted intentional? I have never heard of a multi-faced analogy in gubernatorial selection mechanisms, but I can never be quite sure with "you Americans" either within your unique political terminology or just with the English language in general. Please let me know here. With thanks from ChrisJBenson (talk) 05:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I took this picture back in October, hoping to also get a picture of him, but I just missed him. Still, figured his campaign bus is worthy of historical remembrance. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
