I thought I had written up a post about this last night, but it didn’t appear . . . while I’m trying to remain neutral in New Jersey’s Republican gubernatorial primary, apparently incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine isn’t: “Mr. Corzine’s allies plan to attack the Republican they consider more formidable, the former federal prosecutor Christopher J. Christie, in an attempt to knock him out in the June primary, according to people briefed on the matter.”

(Everything is being done at arm’s length from the governor himself, his allies insist.)

Really? Jon Corzine and his friends are going to help Lonegan make up a deficit that’s somewhere in the range of 9 percent to 25 percent in four weeks?

Why not just put “WE FEAR CHRISTIE” in big, bold letters on all of Corzine’s mailers?

UPDATE: The last time Jon Corzine led a head-to-head poll against Chris Christie, the president was named George W. Bush.
