Because the governor's race, between Corzine and Forrester only shows a 7 point gap out of the gate. Normally Corzine should have a 20 point margin before the first commercial airs and the first buck is spent. Of course, because it's a race between left and lefter, might have something to do with it.
It is amusing to watch Corzine run as a conservative, (same as McGreevey and Florio) and Forrester run as a moderate. I think this one is going to go to Forrester.
I didn't know Florio ever ran as a Conservative. I do remember his enormous tax hikes (wasn't it the property taxes?) paved the way for some GOP victories. Was it Kean who defeated him? Anyway, it would be sweet to see Corzine lose. I would think Jerseyans would be getting tire of the McGreevey/Lautenberg/Corzine routine.
