Here's something unconventional---why doesn't the press do some digging and less reporting from a sheet given to them by Maggie Moran.
Any reporter worth their salt, would be investigating the access that Daggett had to the Governors office over the last 3 1/2 years. With the INCREDIBLE access--Daggett has made a tremendous amount of money in the Corzine years.
Funny, that you don't hear Corzine(D-Wall Street) or Daggett talking about that---I guess that's why it hasn't been reported. What a shame....
"Don't let facts get in the way"...Corzine '09
Woah
Christie's blog staff is making stuff up about Daggett. Does that mean trash ads are coming soon?
Looks like our much maligned former US Attorney is getting nervous about Daggett.
This campaign gets more and more interesting....
Typical of this election
Just another reason to support Chris Daggett. Instead of throwing mud and frivolous lies around the internet, he's talking about the issues that face the state of New Jersey. Maybe Christie should start talking about issues too, instead of running on the fact that he isn't John Corzine and that he doesn't have John Corzine's record.
Gorednj, you have not once on this website made any intelligent comments that are backed up with facts. In fact, I've never even seen you say anything that wasn't negatively directed at Mr. Daggett. If Chris Christie is relying on people like you to win him votes on the internet, he must be dumber than I originally thought. I'm surprised to see that you've moved on from your patented "ego trip" and "wasting taxpayer money" lines, but all this displays to me is that people in the Christie campaign are getting scared.
Daggett is a legitimate contender in this race, especially after his Sierra Club endorsement, no matter how hard everyone tries to play it down. Save Jersey Blog claims it an "Epic Fail" because Sierra didn't endorse Christie. That just makes me laugh. To all the hard party liners in this state, Sierra's endorsement is just a sign that people in this state are willing now, more than ever, to stand up for principles and for what is right. Elections should be driven by issues and solutions for the state, but this one has only been about Christie and Corzine bashing each other to avoid speaking about solutions. People are starting to wise up to this crap, and are starting to hear Chris Daggett. He is the only one out there presenting answers for the problems that this state desperately needs to have resolved, and I for one respect him for that. So if anyone out there wants to bash him for standing up for something and representing a majority of this great state, then go ahead. Make yourselves look asinine like gorednj has continually chosen to do so.
Chris Christie's loan to Michele Brown . . .
is NOT a campaign issue!
Christie's Loan
It is when he's making $14,000 over ten years in interest and didn't mention it in his tax report.
Deja Vu all over again!
Look at recent history, from the Minnesota Gov's Race.
The Red and Blue candidates, running neck and neck, in
August, while the 'Outsider', ran at a distant 10%.
When the last drop of blood was spilled and the dust cleared,
guess who was making his acceptance speech?! Yes my Friends,
Jessie Ventura, Governor.
Hey, "Isn't Chris Daggett @ 10% in August and does'nt he
have the same Media Guru that Jessie used"?!
STAY TUNED!!!!!!!
glasses houses
hey corzine those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... does that sound familiar, DUMP CORZINE
Corzine is not in a glass house
Corzine has been working under cover with Carla Katz (pun intended). There is nothing in the open about Corzine's back room deals.
The fact that Corzine has been sleeping with the CWA Union (pun intended) while pretending to represent the people who pay for the CWA jobs is outrageous. That should be grounds for impeachment. It is a crime to violate the fiduciary duty as governor. The e-mails were illegal whether or not there is anything incriminating in them, the fact that they exist is the crime.
