Mr Obama - For our country, please don't choose Corzine

President-elect Obama used our governor at the latter stages of this campaign on the economic issue. We can all debate that as a wise strategy but now that he has won, it probably has no significance. But Barack Obama needs to understand what New Jersey residents both Democrat and Republican already know. Jon Corzine is a complete lightweight. He came into this state with a lot of promise due to his economic experience. And all we got was "I don't want to be Scrooge".

It highlighted his cowardice and lack of vision in a big way. We are stuck with him. Our country is not. President-elect Obama, while my instinct is to play Corzine up as a winner to get him out of New Jersey, my concern for the country in this difficult time is far more important. We need a heavy hitter. And Corzine is so much balsawood.
