re: #92 dogg

For us in New Jersey ‘Corzine losing despite spending more than 3to 1, Obama campaigning for him 3 times in the state & providing his teams expertise and every photo and billboard with him standing with Obama.

I can not understand LGF, the little district in NY is nothing compared to the huge change in Democratic NJ.

Please get focused on reality and quit following the talking heads who want train wrecks where there is not so much.

I’m not following whatever point it is you’re trying to make. The NJ election isn’t at all surprising. Every report I’ve heard for the last several weeks, and even longer, has had Corzine crashing and burning badly. His loss certainly isn’t news. His heavy expenditures and 0bama’s repeated visits were an accurate metric of just how much trouble he was in and how much help he needed just to narrow the margin of his loss. It would have been absolutely stunning news had he won, but yesterday’s results aren’t at all remarkable. They simply matched expectations.

Had GOP leadership shown similar support and backing for their candidate, they might have actually wound up with a Republican in the race in the 23rd, instead of sitting it out altogether. The Democrats appear to put a higher value on keeping political seats filled with other Democrats at all levels of government than on ideological litmus tests and conserving political capitol.
