Since he started splitting the anti-incumbent vote, some folks have wondered if Chris Daggett’s mission in the race is to act as Corzine’s bodyguard and ensure Republican Chris Christie comes in second.

When he runs around guaranteeing not that he’ll win (a standard boast for even the longest of longshot candidates) but that Christie will lose . . . well, people’s suspicions get reinforced.

Daggett claims he’s completely opposed to “politics as usual,” but he doesn’t seem all that worried about helping ensure another four years of the guy who’s run the state into the ground.

Meanwhile, Chris Christie is finally doing some national media – Hannity tonight, Fox and Friends tomorrow morning . . .

UPDATE: Gee, Chris Daggett refuses to rule out taking a job in either the Corzine or Christie administrations.

Mr. Daggett, I wouldn’t spend much time thinking about a job offer from Christie.
