He may have made a mistake in judgment, or he may have done what he thought was right and hoped would work. I cannot tell yet. Either way---it did not work. I think Corzine tried to fix things for the long haul----and he might have taken many correct actions---but he did it too much like a quiet, behind-the-scenes manager and did not use public forums and charisma, if he has any, to make his case with the public. It allowed his opponents to prortay him as out of touch and ineffectual when it will take some time to know if he was actually changing anything for the better. The only thing I think about it now, is unfortunately, when the national economy turns around, Christie will get the credit for NJ doing better, when it will have been Obama nationally, and possibly Corzine's work in NJ, that will be the main engines of that turn around. But then, that happens all the time---so what are you gonna do?!LHwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890891351498768757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30510558.post-84178100597894298402009-11-05T04:15:52.198-08:002009-11-05T04:15:52.198-08:00It's true about New Jersey voters, but Preside...It's true about New Jersey voters, but President Obama himself gave NJersey national focus. He campaigned in NJersey for Corzine 3 times, with much too much fanfare. <br /><br />Obama's mistake. <br /><br />Plus the electorat's snubbing of an Obama supporter will give blue dog Dems pause for concern. <br /><br />Obama's exceedingly amateurish mistake. He seems to have overestimated his personal influence and the influence of passionate speeches. He's made the same mistake in the far more volitile MidEast...Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331211089963297411noreply@blogger.com
