Oct. 21, 2009 As expected, Chris Christie has begun promising tax cuts, jobs, growth and prosperity. In response, Governor Jon Corzine, the multi-millionaire, former Goldman Sachs executive has dug deeper into cultivating the Democratic Party's base of labor, veterans, the disabled and so on with Vice President Biden making a highly touted guest appearance in support. And now Biden is returning and Bill Clinton and President Obama are visiting. The dialogue is Chris Christie wants to cut spending to cut taxes and end unfunded mandates. Governor Corzine is responding to unmet needs such as parents with autistic children. He might cut a little but really wants to spend. He keeps pressing the hot button for women's health issues. Clearly, this has become the classic small government versus big government debate. So there has been talk of ending restrictive state regulations on construction. Yet credit remains tight. Clearly, more building and construction would stimulate the state economy with both sides appearing to be on the same page, for what it's worth. Christie expects the race to be close. A big lead has evaporated so he has back tracked to his core issues of tax cuts, spending cuts and a poor business climate. Jon Corzine keeps up his unrelenting pressure of undercutting Chris Christie where he can with massive ads and subtle and not so subtle digs. When he accuses his opponent of throwing his weight around, Mr. Christie responds with accusations of being personally attacked. Corzine takes an innocent pose, but keeps on airing attack ads, seguing to subtle differences on education he wants to magnify. The race has become so intense that the Newark Star Ledger, New Jersey's biggest newspaper, has deigned to endorse Chris Daggett, the dark horse in this race. This has boosted Mr. Daggett's poll numbers to the low teens, making him more credible as the race nears the finish line. In response, the Christie team keep pointing to Chris Daggett's and Jon Corzine's willingness to raise taxes, hoping to siphon votes from both as charges continue to fly. Mr. Corzine is trying to make hay over Chris Christie's use of travel expenses while he was U.S. Attorney and claiming there have been corruption prosecutions under his watch as governor. He is also pro choice, while Chris Christie is anti-abortion. Corzine questions Chris Christie's brother Todd's contributions to the Republican Governor's Campaign Committee. Chris Christie responds that Jon Corzine is using his personal wealth to vastly outspend him, Corzine already having spent twenty million dollars. To counter Jon Corzine parading Democratic Party heavy weights through the state, Chris Christie has come back with Republican stars Rudy Giuliani and Bobby Jindal. Now Corzine has resorted to accusing the federal attorney's office of managing prosecutions, at the same time asking New Jersey citizens to get out and vote. Corzine continues to spend, Christie stretches to match him. As the race stands, it is like the song that never ends. It goes on and on my friends. Although it will come to a close Election Day. Corzine continues to spend and attack. Christie is trying to defend. At least the job of Lieutenant Governor is new to New Jersey. So was the debate. A last minute Republican critic suggests that Christie should focus on his tax cuts and appealing to women since Corzine has tried to undermine him there and make him look bad. He has about a week and a half to make his last stand effort his best shot.
Don't forget, this all ends November 3, when voters go to the polls and make a choice.
