An Endorsement for NJ Governor

Having watched as the candidates continue the mud-slinging that they purport to be a campaign, I've noticed a recent change that is exciting. There have always been third (sometimes fourth and fifth) party challengers and usually they are ignored. Suddenly, we've seen advertisements discrediting the third party challenger. Why is this significant? Because that means for the first time in recent NJ history, the major parties are worried that Independent candidate Chris Daggett actually could pose a real threat, that voting for him may not actually be the same as throwing your vote away.

Ironically, the Republican's commercial led me to actually investigate Daggett by looking at his website and reading what he's about......thanks Republicans because I was going to vote for Chris Christie till then. He's actually got some very common sense answers to a lot of our problems. He doesn't promise quick fix solutions and he gives you reasons for his programs. He also quotes some solid research for many of his positions. I think he could help us get some things done here in a state that hasn't done much right for years.

Jon Corzine has turned out to be such a disappointment. The golden boy, businessman, hasn't run NJ like a business, hasn't made the tough decisions, and instead has followed the Nancy Pelosi left-wing class warfare line and taxed us into oblivion without fixing anything. I had hopes that he would be different and he was......worse than I ever expected.

Chris Christie is also a party man who is more interested in bashing Democrats than offering solutions. Of the two major party candidates, I would pick him, but I think this is the best chance we have as voters to tell the major parties that it's not about fighting each other but instead it's about fixing the problems we face.

Thoughts anyone?
