We are sure going to try. Christie is ahead in the polls, but it is still early and Corsine has bucks.
He showed up at the local Peach Festival this weekend. Did not attract much of a crowd and there were PROTEST signs at the entrance to greet him and thank him for all the new taxes.


You poor folks are taxed to death in NJ. My sister-in-law’s family are all from NJ. She once told me what her folks pay in property tax and my jaw hit the floor. NJ has a solid liberal/democrat populous - but at some point it’s even liberals revolt. Corzine is certainly pushing the limits of the standard democrat meme: “tax everyone and everything to death until every social program turns into utopia!” Meanwhile, the state’s economy is swirling down the toilet.
