Corzine: politics on hold until June

Gov. Corzine appears content to sit back and let his Republican challengers beat each other up in primary season before revving up his own re-election campaign.

"I believe that I have one job between now and June 3rd or 4th," Corzine said in a meeting with the Inquirer editorial board Thursday. (The primary is June 2). "Whenever I have an identified opponent I’ll take that issue up."

The governor's stance comes as Democrats privately relish the thought of a fierce Republican primary that leaves the victor bruised and short on cash heading into a clash with their multi-millionaire incumbent.

Until a Republican winner emerges, Corzine said he will continue to focus on the economy.
