Newsflash NJ Voters - Corzine wants you to know: Christie is fat.

I guess when your entire record as Governor of the most taxed state in the country with the third worst financial problems, you make the campaign about...your opponents weight.
From the New York Times:

It is about as subtle as a playground taunt: a television ad for Gov. Jon S. Corzine shows his challenger, Christopher J. Christie, stepping out of an S.U.V. in extreme slow motion, his extra girth moving, just as slowly, in several different directions at once.

In case viewers missed the point, a narrator snidely intones that Mr. Christie “threw his weight around” to avoid getting traffic tickets.

The truly sad part of this advertisement is that this is what our sitting Governor believes is relevant to running the state of New Jersey. He screams about Christie throwing his weight around and allegedly "influencing" a traffic ticket while hiding the fact that he has OUTRIGHT PAID OFF his girlfriend, he brother and others who could shed light on some serious breaches of ethics regarding backroom deals in negotiating union contracts. And after three years, he still refuses to come clean.

All while our great state continues to deteriorate. And his plan for the future? More of the same. The person who is throwing their weight around (and by weight I mean CASH, earned from Democratic Party affiliate Goldman Sachs) is Jon Corzine. And he is doing it to deflect attention from his record. And he believes the voters of New Jersey are too stupid to notice. He may be right.
