Sen. Corzine (D-NJ) leading Doug Forrester for NJ Governor

From DC Debate

Corzine Links Forrestor to Bush; Holds Lead

Senator Corzine’s campaign recently began running an ad linking Doug Forrester to President Bush: “Doug Forrester, he’s George Bush’s choice for Governor, is he yours?” The ads can be viewed here, by clicking “Videos” on the left sidebar.

According to the latest Rassmussen Report, Senator Corzine is attracting 45% of the Garden State vote while Forester earns 38%. “That’s the closest the race has been since the day after both men emerged victorious from their party primaries.”

Left: Karl Rove raised money for Forrester this summer, and the two have a strong relationship. That could make for a decent ad once Rove is indicted.

Right: Karl Rove also worked for social liberal William Weld as Governor of Massachusetts. That doesn’t mean the White House backs him. The real story: Corzine is getting desperate as he sees his lead slipping away in this traditionaly blue state.
