Talked to a Dem insider the other day with extensive experience in New Jersey. He says Democratic gubernatorial candidate Corzine’s in trouble, not because of anything he’s specifically done but because of the general disgust with New Jersey Democrats. The job for Doug Forrester, the GOP candidate, is to tie Corzine to his discredited and corrupt fellow party members — to say Jon Corzine’s not working for you but for himself. Don’t make it New Corzine; keep it New Jersey. The insider says the time to go for this is now, because it’s cheaper to buy television commercials now and owing to its strange geography, New Jersey is an incredibly expensive state to advertise in. I should say I know next to nothing about all this.
