MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — If Republican Chris Christie is being outspent by Democratic incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey's down-to-the-wire gubernatorial election, independent Chris Daggett is being swamped.

Corzine, a former Wall Street executive who funded his own winning campaigns for U.S. Senate in 2000 and governor in 2005, is paying his own way again his re-election effort.

Corzine will use that money to buy off black preachers to push their flock to vote... “walking around money” is what they call it.

Am I the only one out there who keeps getting confused as to which is which? They all have too many C’s in their names. LOL!

I'm already pumped for next week-it's going to be interesting.

If Hoffman wins boy it's going to change everything.

This begs the question...what makes the governorship of a cesspool like New Jersey worth this much money?

I'm just asking.

Well, but he is behind in the polls and when he decided to make fun of Christie’s weight, something tells me he is getting nervous, and this cheap shot ad might just turn people off.

Corzine’s only platform is that he weighs less than Christie. The state is flooded with billboards and commercials depicting distorted photographs of Christie. The elite wing of the Democratic Party (Clinton, Obama, Corzine), who are looking to tax soda pop, are out of touch with the majority of voters who don’t have the means to hire personal trainers, go to lo-cal Nouveau Cuisine restaurants or have their nannies watch over things while they go to the Spa.

Gov. Corzine has a huge money advantage in NJ race...helped a bit by the fact that he apparently didn't pay any state income taxes last year, according to the latest Christie ad - that should help his popularity.....

Yes, the guy is terrible. I just hope the voters think carefully before voting for him. The guy is trouble.

I won’t be comfortable unless we have a solid +7 or better lead to counter any ACORN-manufactured votes. This IS New Jersey after all.

Corzine led Goldman Sachs during the dot com scam when investment banks like Goldman traded dot com stocks on IPO amongst each other with a small float. The end result was to drive these dog sh*t companies from $20 on IP day to $150+ by the end of the day.

Why? To get all the Main Street suckers to by worthless dot com stocks. Wall Street and SillyCon Valley’s VC community got away with this massive fraud.

You were promised an IPO if you agreed to buy Cisco routers, Sun boxes, Oracle databases and maybe a Lucent switch.
