Christie Needs Daggett to win
He sees how 101.5 has stretched Daggett saying he would consider a toll increase if and only if absolutely needed to refund the transportation fund.
On another note, It seems that the propaganda that a vote for Daggett is a wasted vote is backfiring on the GOP. With Daggett in the polls Christie is up by 3 points. Take Daggett out of the polls and Corzine is up by 6 points.
For Christie to win, he needs the Daggett supporters to keep sucking voters from Corzine. Currently Daggett is taking 2 voters from Corzine for everyone he takes from Christie
If you're afraid that a vote for Daggett is a Vote for Corzine, don't be because the polls show Daggett is hurting Corzine and putting Christie ahead.
See this Daggett Hurts Corzine and Helps Christie
You can be sure that you don't waste your vote by making the I'll vote for Dagget pledge.
The Daggett pledge is based on a simple premise, if enough people pledge their vote then you will vote for Daggett

Shafton Is an Idiot!
This is the same guy who had Lonegan winning by 8 points when he lost by double digits.
Shaftan is only out for one thing, himself and always has been. This is his play for a job in the Christie administration. However, no one told him that the fat man will betray every person who helped him. That's his M.O. Shaftan is a little man with a ego the size of Mt. Rushmore and the same brains, solid stone.
At some point in time, maybe Lonegan will realize how much of an albatross Shaftan is and finally cut him loose. Remember, Shaftan claims to be a Republican pollster. But, he works for both Sacco and Sarlo and that should tell you all you need to know about his credibility, because he has absolutely zero in that regard.
He has fudged voting numbers to make those two look like conservatives. In a word, he is a political whore with no allegiance to anyone or anything except a buck. And, that usually comes by way of his shennigans rather than real solid research and advice.
Shafton should just go away and hopefully take Carla Katz with him.
Maybe we should start a collection to do just that!

Christie Corzine Dagget
Mamogram AD backfires on Corzine
Having taken a poll of voter reaction to the Corzine mamogram most women recognize it for what it is ,a big lie. Jon Corzine is a desperate man now that the polls are showing movement toward Christie. Truly Jon Corzine is an evil and despicable using his fortune to fill the airwaves with falsehoods and Lies. Jon Corzine the father fo lies.
