I know, it isn’t news at all – completely “dog bites man”, but for the record:
The Democratic State Committee now admits paying for a robocall to Somerset County voters that slams Republican Chris Christie and promotes independent gubernatorial candidate Christopher Daggett.
A Democratic spokeswoman says the party’s chairman, Joe Cryan, was not aware of the robocalls when he denied that the state committee had anything to do with them yesterday afternoon.
Cryan, who told PolitickerNJ.com yesterday afternoon that the Democratic State Committee had “absolutely” nothing to do with the call, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The call angered Republicans and further fueled conspiracy theories that Daggett is in cahoots with the Corzine camp. A disclaimer at the end says it was paid for by Victory ’09, “a project of the NJDSC” (Democratic State Committee), and gave the committee’s Trenton address.
Daggett, for his part, disavowed the call.
Yeah, stuff like that just happens all the time…someone just accidentally recorded the robo-call and then the recording slipped and fell in to the phone system of the New Jersey Democrat party. The Democrats – and Daggett – are all just sweet, innocent bystanders. Anyways, its all Bush’s fault.
I’m confident that New Jersey voters will do the right thing tomorrow, and then Christie can get to work cleaning up this mess.
