Bon Jovi to rock for Corzine; Dems ready attacks on Christie
Two interesting notes on the governor's race today.
The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Corzine's Democratic allies plan to ramp up attacks on Republican candidate Chris Christie -- during the GOP primary. The idea is to either help conservative Steve Lonegan, whose hard right positions, Democrats believe, might make him an easier opponent in the state's general election, or to simply bang up Christie a bit before he goes toe-to-toe with Corzine.
Corzine, facing only a nominal primary challenge, has tried to stay aloof of the political combat, but his poll numbers have continued to tumble and several surveys have him trailing Christie. A Democratic move to jump into the Republican primary would show just how seriously the party is taking Christie as a threat.
Meanwhile, Corzine may get a boost from Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who is planning a fund raising concert for the governor in June.

Funny how JBJ can put together a fundraising show for the Governor but can't seem to find the time to put on the free show he promised the city after his failed AFL franchise won it's "championship". Keep it in Joisy, Jon" .— thorshuffle- Losers flock together. A has been rocker and a soon to be Ex-Governor— daddyimscared

- Hey Ghost, that's a good one. If it weren't completely intellectually dishonest, that is.— toph7
- I am so sick of celebrities endorsing political candidates.— bobbyd24
- toph7 the ghost quote is pretty accurate, but keep up the disguise of the Democrats are for the little guy - because as the city goes down the toilet, the mayor and governor of Philly and PA care so much for hte littel guy that they are stumping to destroy the little guys neighborhood so their casino buddies - who must be poor by your deinition- can have their precious casino. I think you are the one who is intellectually dishonest with yourself.— reddog44

Uh-oh...It's BonJovi!! I can't think of a better way to lose constituents than to make them sit through a mind-numbing set of mainstream garbage. Bonjovi+liberals= One crappy night.- Wow Bon Jovi! Boy they are bringing out the big guns for Corzine and Company. There must be a lot at stake here; I guess you got a lot of Cart Riders counting on him to keep feeding the machine.— NJBites
- Bon Jovi! My heart is broken, Corzine gives Jersey 'A Bad Name'! He is allowing my severely disabled son's school to get closed down! He thinks my kid doesn't deserve a proper education and EMTs don't need to be trained! To my son and I, Corzine is 'Bad Medicine'! Sincerely, A broken hearted former fan!— Jerseygirl74
- The dems should be worried. The biggest deficit ever, state employees being laid off, and now Bon Jovi’s doing a fund raiser for one of the wealthiest person in Jersey! And we thought Florio was bad— hp0344
