NJ-Gov 2005.

Corzine's anti Bush ads are a little curious to me.  I think it is a tad bit rash to so stridently bash Bush in a state in which he won 46%.  It is an interesting tactic to attack many voters' sensibilities to boost the total vote count.  His ads would have been a lot more useful if they weren't so strident and a bit more subtle.

Most voters are smart enough to distinguish that Forrester is not Bush and W has little real relevancy to the election.  Some voters might, however, disapprove of being taking so strongly to task for voting for Bush.  The ads seemd a bit too coarse to me.

NJ is a heavy lean Democratic state and Corzine has a massive funding edge.  There is no reason, other than Corzine himself, why he should not win the race.  Here is to an upset victory.
