One more illustration of why Chris Christie has lost his lead in New Jersey:

Campaign spending reports released this morning show Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine is far outspending Republican challenger Chris Christie in his bid for a second term. Corzine, who until recently had been trailing in most of the polls, has so far spent $16.8 million on the campaign, compared with $5.4 million spent by Christie. Independent candidate Chris Daggett has spent $954,668.

If you spent a million dollars a week on negative television ads, after a couple of months you could persuade New Jerseyans to have second thoughts about Bruce Springsteen.
