| If Bush got a man-date, then today, New Jerseyans demanded a polygamous man wedding.
Not only did Jon Corzine trounce Forrester by 9 points, but the Democrats also managed to gain a net 2 seats in the State Assembly, bringing their advantage to 49-31. Democrats won mayoral races in Edison, Atlantic City, Dumont, Brick, Parsippany and Morristown, ousting several GOP incumbents. Despite all the baggage that some state Democrats carry, the citizens of New Jersey (briefly) considered the alternative - an ethically bankrupt party of hate and smearmongering - and forcefully rejected it.
At his acceptance speech, Jon Corzine committed to fulfilling his promise to clean up corruption in New Jersey. The voters have provided him with the political capital to bring about this much needed reform, and he shouldn't hesistate to spend it. |
