| Star-Ledger endorses independent Chris Daggett for N.J. governor |
| 2009-10-12 |
| The Star-Ledger today endorses independent candidate Chris Daggett and recommends his election as the next governor of New Jersey. The newspaper's decision is less a rejection of Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican Chris Christie than a repudiation of the parties they represent, both of which have forfeited any claim to the trust and confidence of the people of New Jersey. They share responsibility for the state's current plight. Only by breaking the hold of the Democratic and Republican mandarins on the governor's office and putting a rein on their power will the state have any hope for the kind of change needed to halt its downward economic, political and ethical spiral. |

| #6 That's EXACTLY the intention. I am resigned to voting for Christie just to help start the rollback of the statists nationwide. For NJ however, Christie is more of the same. |

| #5 In a perfect universe, Daggett might be the best choice. In New Jersey, however . . . |

| #4 split the non-Corzine vote and let that feckless crap-weasel sneak back in? I think that's the whole idea. That's how we got Bill Clinton's first term, isn't it? |

| #3 split the non-Corzine vote and let that feckless crap-weasel sneak back in? I believe that. The Ledger has been a cheerleader for the entrenched democrat machine in NJ for a very long time. Leopards don't change their spots. |
