Meanwhile, Corzine's promises to stop the corruption in N.J. have faded in the night.
He appointed a freaking scofflaw without outstanding warrants as the states Attorney General in charge of enforcing the laws!
Then he turned all the corruption investigations over to her.

A man who called the first President Bush a liar for raising taxes suddenly becomes a hero for raising taxes? >>
yep, the press loves to twist things around. in fact, the stain maker increased taxes over $1 trillion and nothing was said. In 1993 the taxes increased by $260 billion and the money kept coming in for the remainder of his two terms and bush's first. I think it was 2nd only to FDR's tax increase in 1942 to fund the war and his voluminous social programs.

The media is our enemy. They shape public opinion at every turn. However, I believe that Corzine is going to have a rough ride for some time when the increases are instituted.
Raising the sales tax is going to hurt everyone.
Property tax increases across the board, including some Abbott districts, will add to the anger.

THE BUSINESS OF TERRORISM
(snip)
>>>In 2001, the Financial Action Task Force identified the following major sources of terrorist funding:
- Extortion and kidnapping<<
(snip)
>>>Private individuals have continued to donate money, either because they believe in the cause or to avoid unpleasant consequences [ie protection money]. This may well be the single largest source of funding for the movement and needs to be addressed. Such individuals will need to be guaranteed protection if they are both to come forward and give an account of the moneys passed to al Qaida and to feel safe enough to discontinue paying. Some of these people are victims of extortion, not necessarily zealots. <<<<

The IRV Victory Fund
The VisionAs recent events have shown, instant runoff voting (IRV) is gaining traction nationwide. On the heels of San Francisco's city-wide IRV elections, hailed universally as well-understood by the electorate (and much preferred to the old system), other cities have begun to follow the trend. In March, Burlington, Vt. became the first major city in more than 30 years to use IRV for a mayoral election, and the positive results bode well for the possibility of this good-government reform to spread statewide.
As passionate electoral reformers who believe in the people's power to protect our country's democratic health, the challenge is presenting these victories as part of what they truly are -- a nationwide movement. In that spirit, FairVote is launching the IRV Victory Fund, which aims to unify local efforts by aiding those campaigns where the promise of success is greatest.
Fueling a National Movement.The Victory Fund pledges at least 50 cents for every dollar it collects to be directed to the local campaign where it will count the most. Though the eventual goal of IRV should be to ensure the principle of majority rule is honored everywhere, and used for all executive offices, right now the reformer's strategy must focus on city and state campaigns. Of course, FairVote will continue to produce educational and campaign materials for national use.
The Fund will operate with complete transparency in periodic reports as to how these campaign-focused donations are spent. That's just another prerequisite for establishing an IRV campaign in which all its participants can feel involved.
A Vehicle for Endorsements
From Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, big names are lining up behind instant runoff voting as it gains momentum. The Victory Fund serves as a focus point for prominent figures, and provides a basis to campaign for endorsements from other supporters of fair elections. Seeking these endorsements will be central to the Victory Fund's operation.
