Post a commentThis guy wouldn't be spending a "loan" from the Democrats would he?
I am probably wasting my vote on Daggett, but one thing I don't get, is why they spend so much for an office. What are they really getting for themselves. It has to be more than just a powerful feeling. It's what they get back in their pockets, and that's a shame.
Corzine will not buy my vote. He is a failed governor with failed policies and does not deserve re-election.
Just what NJ needs, a corrupt billionaire banker. And the Inquirer endorses him? Of course they do.
First you make the money, then you get the power, then you get some #$%$#. It doesn't get any better than that!
Corzine has been an utter failure. Period. Daggett's policies would be very similar to Corzine's. If you can think independently, and if you don't drink the Democratic Kool Aid, then you must vote for Christie. It's really that simple.
In this particular election,Daggett is a Dem in disguise. His sole charge is to pull votes from Christie. It's been predicted that Daggett will receive 13 to 17% of the vote. That may be an over-estimation but it's safe to say that votes for Daggett are votes for Corzine. It's a strategy that works when the incumbent lacks the ability to attrack a majority of the votes on election day and possess the resources to successfully pull off it off by election day. As for following the money trail, money will have changed hands so many times and into so many different accounts that tracing it back to the sources would be an almost insurmountable task. Besides, who in ObamaNation would object?
FJG JR got it right: its all about money, power and more money, so expect to see the incumbent through 2013. His arcane financial assets which far outweigh his more conspicuous liabilties, will keep him in a political office for as long as he desires.
I wonder how much Corzine has spent on the Daggett Campaign? No one spends over $23 million of their own money unless their eventual payback is even greater. I may be dumb, but I ain't stoopid!
The person with the most money usually wins because they think the voting public is a bunch of fools and will vote for what they see the most of on TV.

I can't believe how paranoid some of these people are. Daggett is not a dem by any stretch of the imagination. He's simply the best candidate. Christie has no plans, Corzine is sugarcoating everything in a bid to win again, and Daggett is just honest and actually smart.
Daggett will win and will prove that money cant buy you the voters.
It's always funny to hear that Republicans are the "party of the rich" yet, in reality, all the super-rich Billionaires(Soros,Gates,etc..), the Wall Street bankers, and the wealthiest politicians are Democrats. They are all about taking our money and givng it away but manage to find loopholes to keep from paying taxes themselves. I believe that when Kerry was rtunning it was shown that he and Teresa only were paying about 5% on their tens of millions of income. No wonder Dems like lawyers and 1000 page bills!!! The sheep keep voting for them and always will so we are done as a free people. Such a waste and the last place on Earth that people who wanted FREEDOM could flee to is jjust about gone.
CaptainSplendor, it's not about being "the best candidate." Your label of "paranoia" revels your naivete'. Daggett's appeal is primarily based on his business-like approach to remedying Jersey's woes. It doesn't matter what his numbers actually mean because Christie lacks a platform and Corzine's a zero. Voters who recognize this will vote for Daggett. The problem is that the current Gov has a political machine with lots of bucks to buy lots of votes. Jersey Dems will go to the polls and vote the straight ticket. Urban areas, such as Camden, Jersey City, Trenton, Newark, etal., are already poised to buy and transport large numbers of voters to the polls. Now here's where the third party candidate enters. Well before the campaign commences, party strategists and political insiders layout what it may take to win and/ or steal the election. If deemed necessary, a straw candidate emerges where money is no obstacle and a powerful machine is in place. Unfortunately for Republicans, their strategists thought they could sustain a lengthy campaign with nothing more than repudiating Corzine's record. Had they gone after his record with counter proposals and ads that detailed how Christie would "Fix It"(latest TV ad which fails to say how), Daggett's presence would be nothing more than an expensive failure.Foot Not: At the beginning of the campaign, the Dems never imagined that this popular crime fighter would wage a campaign worthy of the king's invisible clothing.
