Mr. Corzine has been campaigning for Governor ever since Acting Governor Codey was blown out of the race by Corzine’s money decided not to run. We recently spotted Mr. Corzine on Broad Street in Newark greeting passers-by on their way to work in the morning, much as he was when we saw him in February. Here’s what our PRS Operative on the scene heard:

Corzine: “Good morning, sir. I’m Jon Corzine, and I’m running for governor. I’d like you to vote for me in November.”

Guy: “Why?”

Corzine:

Guy:

Corzine: “Well, Bush supports Doug Forrester, and why would you want to vote for someone Bush supports?”

Guy: “Do you think that Robert Torricelli and Jim McGreevey will vote for you in November?”

Corzine: “Yes. I’m confident of that.”

Guy: “And wasn’t Bill Clinton recently in New Jersey supporting you?”

Corzine: “Yeah. So?”

Guy: “You gotta be shittin’ me.”
