Did Corzine follow Zaro's advice and call Christie for a reference?

Gov. Jon Corzine's pick to succeed Gary Rose as his top economic advisor, Democratic lawyer Jerold Zaro, isn't likely to encounter much opposition from the Republicans: his law firm website lists four personal references for Zaro, including Corzine's possible 2009 opponent, GOP U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie.  Zaro's other references: Joseph Buckalew, a GOP fundraiser and Ocean County Republican powerhouse who served on the Board at Commerce Bank; Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman John Adler; and Sports Authority Chairman/developer Carl Goldberg.
