The democratic governor wasin bed with the unions.

Literally.



They are the most fiercely protected secrets of the Jon Corzine years: the contents of e-mails between the former governor and Carla Katz, his girlfriend and a powerful union leader.

From Jan. 25, 2007, through March 26, 2007, while both were involved in heated negotiations over a new state workers contract, Corzine and Katz exchanged scores of e-mails. Of those the newspaper obtained, she sent 100, he sent 23.

The Corzine-Katz relationship had been a popular political sideshow in New Jersey from just about the minute Corzine announced in December 2004 he would be seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.


As Corzine campaigned, it was revealed that he had paid off a $470,000 mortgage Katz had on her Hunterdon County home.

In 2007, Corzine acknowledged for the first time he had actually given Katz millions of dollars. Scrutiny of the two took on a more serious tone as the contract talks arrived at center stage in Trenton.

Stopped in a little deli in the middle of New Jersey a few months back.
Owner turned out to be the local democratic party guy.
Come to find out he and many other life long democrats love Chris Christie and think he's a great Governor.

Who da thunk?!

My favorite quote on how this race is turning out came from Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo, Jr. (D).

For those who don't know, Essex County is one of the two or three most Democratic counties in New Jersey (probably #1 by population) and contains the city of Newark, which has like one Republican (and he wandered into the city by accident).

Christie and DiVincenzo were at the Turtle Back Zoo for some sort of ribbon cutting type event and some reporter asked if DiVincenzo (who had invited Christie) was going to invite Barbara Buono, the Democratic candidate.

"She can buy a ticket like everyone else."
