June 3, 2009 (Kearny NJ).  There were not a lot of surprises locally on Primary Election Day.  Chris Christie won the Republican Primary for Governor and will face incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine in the November General Election.  In Kearny, John Leadbeater won the Republican Primary for Mayor and will face incumbent Democrat Alberto Santos.  Santos has a full slate of council candidates running with him.  Leadbeater has no council candidates on the ballot with him.  Apparently nobody submitted to run in the Republican primary for council.  Someone should have written themselves in and accepted the nomination and they would have been a candidate in November.
