This is not how you want to be described with 120 days to Election Day:

[New Jersey Gov. Jon] Corzine’s slump began in early 2008, when he unveiled a plan to hike tolls in a state dependent on the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike, said Patrick Murray, director of Monmouth University’s Polling Institute. “He has no real middle-class accomplishments, according to voters, and his proposal to raise the tolls really just shot him in the foot,” Murray said. “He lost all credibility with middle-class New Jersey.” Worse, voters started thinking that Corzine “doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand what we’re going through to put food on the table, to pay our taxes,” Murray said.
