13 minutes ago

Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine (news, bio, voting record) was elected governor of New Jersey on Tuesday, defeating Republican Doug Forrester after an exceptionally nasty and expensive race, media outlets reported.

Corzine, a multi-millionaire and former Wall Street executive, and Forrester, a wealthy business owner, spent an estimated $72 million of their own money in campaigns marked by charges of corruption and infidelity, including the Forrester campaign's use of damning quotes by Corzine's ex-wife.

The real question about Corzine is whether he is gay, or a thief, or both.

Corzine spent a lot of money to buy this election, and he's going to be wanting it back.

Dick Morris just called Corzine "an obscenity" on national TV. Works for me.

Works for me too, except that Dick Morris was able to look the other way regarding Bill Clinton for a long time, as long as the money was green. He has a lot of atonement to go.

Anyone dumb enough to still be in NJ deserves Corzine.

Forrester ran a crappy campaign. Why couldn't he just stick to the issues instead of joining Corzine in the gutter?

"Anyone dumb enough to still be in NJ deserves Corzine."

Some of us have jobs that pay very well and aren't able to change positions on a dime.

More power to YOU, if you can easily change jobs and don't make much.

Idiot!

I know how you feel, I never expected Forrester to win, but I had hoped for something short of an unmitigated disaster.

New Jersey deserves exactly what they voted for! If after McGreevy and all the corruption talk they still vote for the Dem Machine, I have no sympathy.

Pubbies should RUN from that state as fast as they can.

The liberals really shelled out a lot of money to buy these races. Bloomberg spent $100 MM of his own money, Corzine spent $70 MM.

At least he's out of the Senate now. My condolences to the people of New Jersey who didn't vote for this clown. Who's his replacement?
