NJ-GOV: If a Republican Were Trying to Buy an Election…

…then you liberals would be going ballistic. But since its one of your own – from the New Editor:

New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine (D) has personally furnished $22.6 million of the total of $24.1 million existing in his re-election campaign’s coffers — more than 90% of the total — according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger.

Gov. Corzine has outspent his two competitors in the state’s gubernatorial race, Republican Chris Christie and independent Chris Daggett, by more than 2 to 1 combined.

This 2009 general election spending is in addition to the $100 million the former Goldman Sachs co-CEO spent in his two previous campaigns for US senator and NJ governor, in 2000 and 2005, respectively.

Is this what you liberals want? Is keeping a man committed to abortion rights and profligate spending in office so important that you’ll sell yourself to a corporate shill as long as he toes your ideological line?

Unless you liberals start demanding a vote for Christie, you’ll be shown up as a bunch of power-grubbing scoundrels…
