With just one week to go until Election Day, we may have the first instance of total agreement from the top three candidates for governor in New Jersey: Let's Go Yankees.

While New Jersey sports fandom is typically split between loyalties to Philadelphia (in the South) and New York (in the North), all three gubernatorial candidates are pulling for the Yankees over the Phillies in the World Series.

Only Independent Chris Daggett is a Yankees fan at his core, but both Democratic Gov. Corzine and Republican Chris Christie have more personal ties to North Jersey than South.

Corzine, who grew up in Illinois as a White Sox fan, has lived in the northern part of the state since moving to Jersey and spent much of his professional career working in Manhattan. His spokesman Sean Darcy wrote in an e-mail that Corzine is rooting for the Yankees.

Christie, born and raised in North Jersey, is an avowed Mets fan -- surely making the Phillies-Yanks World Series sting more than a little. In this radio interview on WCBS 880, the Yankees' radio carrier, he said, "I'm a North Jersey guy so I'll be pulling for the Yankees."

Daggett's policy director Mark Magyar said the Independent who played short stop in Little League at the Shore grew up as a Yankees fan.

"Unlike some candidates for office who tailor their positions, Chris Daggett is a Yankee fan," Magyar said, but added, "I can say if this was the Phillies-Red Sox, I know where he would be."
