NJ Common Sense

By Lon (Alonzo Hosford)

Chris Christie looks confident of a win with a strong dash of caution flavored with the unpredictable.

He completed a 21 NJ county tour to cap off his election campaign at Morristown Green in Morristown NJ on November 1st in his home Morris County. About 500 attended that included independents as well as the expected Republicans.

Chris Christie End of 21 County Tour At Morristown On The Green

The expected campaign printed signs were plentiful but were dotted by the hand made signs characteristic of Tea Party events. Even this reporter has never had an interest in political campaign rallies made the 50 minute trip to report on the event. It had the anticipation the Tea Party express had as you waited for the bus arrive. You saw and met conservative activists sharing what each are doing and information for action in the days ahead both for New Jersey but also for Washington. Christie was a pause for the big picture.

Christie was pumped from the 4 day bus tour for a race that political experts are saying is too close to call. Christie is battling both Corzine and Daggett in the race. He warns the supporters of Corzine’s  desperation to retain power and prepared them to expect anything because of it.

New Jersey’s Economic Ditch of Sad Facts
Christie highlighted the issues that often crystalize towards the end of an election. He characterizes them as “sad facts”.

“We are the highest tax burden state in America. We have the highest unemployment we have had in 33 years and the worst unemployment in the region. We’re the worst business tax climate in America; the worst survival for small business. This state as been driven into the economic ditch.”

Putting Fear Into New Jersey Corruption
Christie was optimistic of his goals citing those who thought fighting corruption was not possible in New Jersey. He outlined what was done in the last 8 years to show promises can be kept. After naming names he sums up the bunch caught so far.

“These are the Democratic felons that John Corzine has enabled with millionis of dollars of his own money to rule this State like petty dictators over the last four years. Well guess what? Forty eight hours left guys. The moving van is coming. “

Taunting the vision for January 2010, Christie draws a picture in Trenton.

“I tell you what. When Kim Duadagno and I get to Trenton in January … Now imagine this. Two former federal corruption prosecutors walking up the front steps of the Statehouse in Trenton New Jersey with a case to the front office. They’re shaking already.”

Chris had his family on stage and they all appeared upbeat. The hard work last for one more day doing the dog work working phones.
