Yes.
Jon Corzine D-NJ.
Chair/CEO, Goldman Sachs and CO and Affiliated Entities, 1994-1999

But he basically bought his Senate seat. He spent something like $97 gazillion dollars of his own money all for a job that pays $154,700 a year. Something stinks with that.

Jon Corzine D-NJ. Chair/CEO, Goldman Sachs and CO and Affiliated Entities, 1994-1999 But he basically bought his Senate seat. He spent something like $97 gazillion dollars of his own money all for a job that pays $154,700 a year. Something stinks with that. Rediculous. Sure, that gave him some advantages, you can sell yourself more often, but if money only works if the voters are going to buy what you are selling. Dashle outspent Thune by 12million to 8 million. We know how that turned out. I'm not saying I have any love for Corzine, but he won his seat because the NJ voters bought what he sold. They may have made a mistake, but the voters put him into office, and I doubt you would be complaining if it were the same situation with Steve Forbes.
