Corzine's silence on why he should be re-elected

We are back after some much needed rest, relaxation and contemplation over politics and the state of our state and the country. I tried successfully to avoid news of New Jersey politics as I was out of state. It was much harder to avoid the next saga of Obamamania as the national news was pre-occupied wiith Czars and children's educational propaganda. I also had a couple of long drives under my belt where I was not allowed to listen to news so I got some real thought time in.

One reflection I had was about our Governor. This has been an extremely strange election season. Why? Because Jon Corzine has not really given anyone a reason to vote for his re-election. It is almost as if he knows that his record is so poor that it wouldn't be worth trying to convince anyone otherwise. And his media people seem to agree with him.

So he is left trying to trash Christie. And maybe in a normal year here in NJ, that would suffice. The same state that allowed Frank Lautenberg to hide out for the entire last camapaign does not seem to be in the same mood this time. Two thousand people attended the tea party we recently passed on the word for those in North Jersey. This is a different year.

Sometimes silence is golden. Sometimes it is chrystal clear.
