Corzine to Christie: "I'm Not Afraid Of You"

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that at last night's New Jersey Business and Industry Association's dinner, Governor Corzine left the head table and walked into the crowd to greet Chris Christie and tell him, "I'm not afraid of you."

As if Christie cares.

As has become his custom, Corzine left the event before Christie addressed the audience.

Corzine may not be afraid of Christie, but increasingly, Democrats are afraid that they will not be able to compete in November with Corzine on top of the ticket.

Democratic Senator Sandra Cunningham, told Politickernj "Corzine will be a tough sell", even in her Jersey City district. The Obama political machine is worried that Corzine's defeat will reflect badly on them and be good for Republicans. Democrats of the local, county and legislative levels are positioning themselves to run away from Corzine.

Even in the blogosphere, if you want to find Corzine's message, read a Republican blog. The Corzine campaign emails and videos are rich material for Republican bloggers. The Democratic blogs take their gratuitous shots at Christie, but they are hard pressed to say anything good about Corzine.

The AFL-CIO just endorsed Corzine. Don't be so quick to write Corzine off. The NJEA, AFL-CIO and all of the other usual suspects will be closing ranks behind their comrade. Between that, Corzine's money and the stupidity of many N.J. voters - this race will be a lot closer than it looks right now.
