Corzine runs from NJ 101.5 Debate

Jon Corzine announced that he was not going to participate in a governatorial debate being held by NJ 101.5. NJ.Com reports:

The campaign for Gov. Jon Corzine said he will not participate in a gubernatorial debate on the radio station New Jersey 101.5 FM during the final legs of the campaign, according to the station's website.

"Jon Corzine has now become the first candidate for statewide office in almost 20 years to turn his back on our one million listeners by refusing to appear on New Jersey 101.5 to talk directly to New Jersey voters about the issues that are important to them," said Eric Scott, news director for 101.5 FM.

The Governor decided instead to agree to debate on public broadcasting radio. Jon Corzine reminds me of Sir Robin from Monty Python's Holy Grail. He pretends to be a tough competent governor and then "bravely runs away" every chance he gets from making tough decisions, fixing the state and now even talking about his record.

While Senator Entitlement Frank Lautenberg was able to hide from the voters and not bother to show up for anything, I suspect Corzine will have a much harder time. Apparently his strategy is to hide until late in the camapaign and then send his vote stealers out to give out cigatettes to buy votes in Trenton, Camden and Newark. OR better yet, offer another $2,000,000 to hire "homeless and drug addicts" as part of his senatorial get out the vote efforts. Remmeber Governor? We do.
