Dems continue robocalls to GOP voters urging vote for Daggett
By EditorControversial robocalls made by the Democratic State Committee that criticize Republican Christopher Christie and seek votes for independent Christopher Daggett continue to be made today. Democrats had initially denied they were responsible, but admitted last night that they were behind them.
Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-Morris Twp.) said he received one at his home within the last hour.
"I just got one of those pro-Daggett calls from the DSC," said Carroll. "I can only conclude that they are so ashamed of their own candidate that they cannot bring themselves to advocate for him directly."
The Christie campaign says that they have received reports of the calls being received by Republicans in other counties, including Union and Essex.

Remember DSC for Lonnegan?
...footing the bill to promote Lonnegan during the primary to try to keep Christie from winning then..? Sound all too familiar..? Pitiful. No Shame. Charletans.
Cryan and Corzine---no morals
These two clowns have no morals. Can't wait for Corzine to permanently move into NYC and Cryan to fall off a bar stool for the last time.
Unreal...
Not for nothing, but after getting exposed on this, shouldn't Cryan have told them to STOP making phone calls?

Robocalls are stupid...
and will not work. If anything, they will just remind people to vote who have already made their minds up. If they are sending calls to republicans, that is just plain... well... something a drunk Democrat would think makes sense. Go Cryan... remind republicans to vote. Idiot.
