re: #81 Fenway_Nation

If it was such a foregone conclusion, why did the TOTUS himself go up there and campaign for Corzine?

Because Corzine was obviously in trouble and needed all the help he could get. And unlike the current leadership in the GOP, 0bama - as de facto leader of the Democratic Party - seems to understand that every Democrat in office is an advantage to the party as a whole, and is willing to spend political capitol to fill as many positions with Democrats as possible.

That Corzine lost will take some of the wind out of 0bama’s sails - but not much. He’s actually up slightly in approval ratings over the last week or two; I doubt the NJ race will have much impact.
