Corzine managed to win in NJ, but I would think that's the exception and not the rule.
Several businessmen have run statewide in Georgia and lost.
Money does not equal victory.
That's right. And Corzine was a Rat. Rat candidates can be corporate because their party is largely immune from anti-business prejudices. They're the party of the little guy, remember? Also, he wasn't running against an incumbent.
It doesn't necessarily mean that, but you are wrong that it's just Corzine.
Mark Dayton, Maria Cantwell, and several others have won in part by being able to give themselves a lot of money.
