Corzine campaign TV ads frequently mentioned Obama.... one had Obama at a Corzine rally, praising Corzine. At the time, my impression was that, given O’s unpopularity, it was foolish strategy by Corzine people to link him to Obama......it turns out the strategy wasn't the work of the Corzine people, but was directed from the Obama White House.

The WH's lack of political savvy was glaringly on display.

Early in the campaign, an onslaught of weird ads blanketed the pricey NY media markets-----showed Ohaha at a rally praising Corzine---with strange "reaction shots" of people w/ deadpan faces, watching Ohaha.

Predictably Corzine's numbers fell precipitously.

But WH know-it-alls still didn't "get it." Ohaha and Biden came back to NJ---more weird Ohaha ads ensued. Corzine also ran some sap-happy liberal "I got feelings" ads.

As I posted----none of the pundits thought the Repub could pull it off. The rest is history. It appears the WH bombed.....the unions failed Corzine.....and the Latino suckup failed.

According to Ohaha's slimy Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, Ohaha was "busy with other matters" election night and "wasn't really concerned" with election results...an indication the WH is sucking up valium and vodka in order to anesthetize themselves from the aftermath.....trying to convince themselves the election was not a referendum on Obama.
