Nervous W.H. intervened in N.J. race; top Obama adviser now in charge
Politico, by Ben Smith
One of President Barack Obama’s key political advisers has become the central strategist in New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine’s bruising campaign for re-election, a race the White House desperately wants to win to avert the consequences for its own agenda of a Republican winning in a traditionally Democratic state.
The White House was so concerned about Corzine's chances during the summer that Corzine's aides feared the first-term governor was being pressured to step aside for a stronger candidate. Those fears turned out to be groundless, but were part of the reason Corzine hired Joel Benenson, who has helped impose discipline on a struggling campaign and crystallize Corzine’s aggressive attacks on the character of his Republican opponent, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie.
The race is seen as extremely close, complicated by the presence of a third candidate, Chris Daggett. For the White House, it’s a crucial symbolic prize. With Democrat Creigh Deeds running far behind his Republican rival in Virginia, the New Jersey race – once believed to be hopeless for Corzine – is now seen as the White House’s best bet to make the 2009 election cycle a political wash and to calm the nerves of congressional Democrats approaching the crucial 2010 midterm elections. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28872.html Quote:
Keep the sleazy crook in power. At all costs.
This race is so important the White House gets to send 3 top gunslingers to New Joisey? Who's paying for these trips? The US Taxpayer!
Make sure that ACORN is in place and ready?
"Recount" as many times as it takes for the DemWit to gain a slim lead... then STOP!!! ala Minnesota
It seems that the WH doesn't think much of NJ's citizens ability to correctly choose their Governor. So in addition to simply endorsing their prefered candidate, which is their right, they are going to bring in the weight of the taxpayer funded federal government in order to prop up this loser of a candidate.
Oh and .......don't forget the Panthers.
