After this New York Times article on the upcoming New Jersey Governor’s contest, I couldn’t help but wonder…what would Monty Brewster do? Nobody likes Democratic Governor Jon Corzine. After having $10 million in negative ads dropped on his head, nobody like Republican challenger Chris Christie. 80% of voters have no idea who John Daggett is (do you?).
“I’m voting for the lesser of two evils,” Laurie Moss, 59, a secretary from Cherry Hill and a Republican, said in a follow-up interview, explaining that she favors the governor’s re-election though she thinks “he speaks with a forked tongue.” She added: “I’m not happy with our property taxes. I’m not happy with a lot of things. But Christie doesn’t offer anything better.”
Steven Schwartz, 55, a litigation consultant from Montvale and a Democrat, said Mr. Corzine has “mishandled the fiscal side” and done a poor job of working with legislators. But he said Mr. Christie has offered nothing but vague promises. “He’ll cut spending and taxes and restore the property tax rebate. How?” he said. “If ‘none of the above’ were an option, I would take it.”
“None of the above…”calling 1985.
