One of Jon Corzine’s preferred lines of attack against Republican Chris Christie is to take his rival’s claim that he would have rejected any stimulus funds that came “with strings attached” and declare that Christie opposed any stimulus.

Corzine also often touts the stimulus as a success for New Jersey. Well, the first analysis of the jobs created or saved by the stimulus is out, and you know what you can find on Recovery.gov?

622 jobs! Wow, the mid-to-high three figures!

Corzine is bragging about state programs that have created four jobs and an expensive national effort that has created a couple hundred, while the unemployment rate in the state hits 9.8 percent and 444,000 New Jerseyans are looking for work – presuming, of course, that you can trust the state’s jobs numbers.

You can only polish a turd so much, Governor.
