Corzine already starting TV attack ads against Chris Christie (buy, cost of) - New Jersey (NJ) - City-Data Forum

theres quite a way to go before the election...

Corzine is a billionaire and not afraid to outspend his opponent. Corzine will probably outspend Christie 5 to 1

The sad part is negative ads work.

They have worked all the way back to reagan and we keep telling the politicians "we don't like this" but we still elect them.

You know what happens? They are SO BRILLIANT that they figure out that despite what we say, we still vote for the one we hate less.

Sad, really.

Interesting that much of the support comes from out of state sources. Recall a news item from the January timeframe that mentioned the coffers of Jon being filled with mostly out of state money which means someone other than Nj residents will have a huge impact on the candidates election. Same situation is claimed with Chris Dodd in CN where state derived funds are sparse for Dodd but folks like Obama come by to urge voter support and links from out of state do their best to bypass the will of the state.

Should be a limit on total cost of a candidates financial efforts to win an election. The stage has to be set to compare and measure candidates' qualities while keeping all the marketing and slight of hand publicity to a minimum. Money will buy an election every time. NJ voters are easy!

LOL !

you think this just happens in NJ, and just with Dems ?

Limbaugh's hate machine cranks out votes/calls/cash from just as many (if not more) sources, for the R's chosen ones
