Pallone, Beck applaud Corzine, Christie, respectively
By EditorA Monmouth County Democrat thinks Jon Corzine won the gubernatorial debate, while a Republican from Monmouth County thinks it was a win for Christopher Christie.
"Tonight's debate highlighted the very clear choice facing New Jersey voters in November. While Governor Corzine has fought for what matters for New Jersey families over the past four years, Chris Christie has been wrong when it matters most," said U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-Long Branch). "He said he'd reject President Obama's stimulus funds, driving up property taxes by $2 billion and now he says he still backs the Bush policies that got our country into this mess."
"New Jerseyans saw a clear distinction between Governor Jon Corzine and Chris Christie at tonight's debate," said State Sen. Jennifer Beck (R-Red Bank). "While Chris Christie spoke to the concerns of all New Jersey families and reaffirmed his commitment to fixing our great state, Governor Jon Corzine deflected from his weak leadership and record of failure with more of the same broken promises. Chris powerfully demonstrated that New Jerseyans have a brighter future to look toward once he's governor."

Daggett won easily.
Only a complete moron could believe anyone but Daggett won that debate.
Vote Column "A" - All the way!
Typical Pallone...
Spouting off about how wonderful Jon Corzine is even the he Fs the communities he represents every day by supporting the guy who tried to jack up tolls 800%, who jacked up every tax he could get his mits on, and who takes money from Monmouth and Middlesex and send it to places like Harrison and Union City. When he is not screwing his own constituency, he is begging for pennies form a manufacturer of an unsound medical device and lobbying for the government to approve it and p[ay for it to be stuck into old people whe he sees as nothing but a vote. The man is a complete and total moron and has no soul. If he wants to represent Hudson County with the rest of the corrupt pols, he should just move there.
Dems and Dissappointments
I think what NJ saw was a guy on the right who, while clearly a good speaker, spoke mostly in platitudes and gratuitious nonsense. A guy on the left who while, clearly not an orator, has a command of the facts and struggles with the reality of the situation we are faced with; as much as he struggles with public speaking. And a guy in the middle who played nice to the crowd.
Can we all agree the time constraints for answers was tough?
Best regards.
