How much, if anything, did his aide getting busted for Ecstasy pills for sale have any emotional impact on the voters,? It just speaks to corruption in a very general way...it is not a big deal overall, but still, it may make some voters be reminded of corruption in general.
An aide getting busted for Ecstasy pills is a story I have not even heard of, and I am pretty well tuned into this type of news, since I live here in NJ. How much play after all, did the much stronger ‘story’ about Corzine’s private email memo to an aide to try to find some statistics they could gin up to show he has actually “brought” or created jobs to New Jersey? That was an outright admission of failure, but it disappeared as soon as everyone heard the ‘blip’ it created. These things have NO effect, the MSM does NOT get on top of them. Here’s the problem: when the trolls who live in the basement of the DNC, are so busy creating DISinformation of their own for so long, and so creatively, and its this disinformation that floods the airwaves and print media, the truth itself is forced to morph into a version of the boy who cried wolf, and it suffers death by a thousand cuts: the electorate is deluged with millions of undigestible bits of hearsay, she said/he said, allegations, possibilities, that they grow weary of even paying attention, and begin to doubt it ALL. THAT IS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF DISINFORMATION, TO MUDDY THE WATERS, CLOUD ALL ISSUES, AND UNDERMINE THE TRUTH.
