Let Chris be Christie
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | July 27th at 09:00 AM |
Mark Levin has a Facebook post that takes a critical look at some comments New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made in his appearance on This Week this past Sunday. Levin is concerned that Christie is soft on immigration and Obamacare. “Regarding the former, he sounds like John McCain three years ago. ‘Commonsense path to citizenship.’ Regarding the latter, the cost of joining with the other | Read More »

Don’t Mess with Christie
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | May 21st at 12:30 PM |
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wasted no time yesterday in vetoing two tax increases passed by the Democratic legislature. Christie signed his disapproval of the measures reinstating an expired surcharge on “millionaires” almost before the ink was even dry on their pages. Video here. State Senate President Steve Sweeney, who is also a private sector union boss, let his thuggish ways show just a bit | Read More »

NJ-GOV: Corzine’s Broken Tax Promise
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | October 24th at 03:00 PM |
Republican Christopher Christie has been hammering Governor Jon Corzine on the issue of taxes in the New Jersey governor’s race of late. But the New York and Philadelphia media which has deigned to cover the race has wanted to talk about mammograms, traffic tickets, and Christie’s weight. Chritsie has been relentless in driving the message of lower taxes and slashing state spending as medicine to get | Read More »
NJ-GOV: Despite Attacks, Christie Maintains Lead over Corzine
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | September 2nd at 12:22 PM |

By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | July 27th at 09:30 PM |
It’s only July, but time is fast running out on Governor Jon Corzine (D) in the New Jersey governor’s race.

NJ-GOV: Christie Ad Plays Off Corruption Arrests
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | July 24th at 07:34 PM |
Republican gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie wasted little time in seeking to turn the corruption arrests of several local and state officials to his advantage in the governor’s race. Christie, who as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey under President George W. Bush started the investigation that led to yesterday’s arrests, released a campaign commercial today highlighting his tenure as a anti-corruption crusading federal prosecutor.
NJ-GOV: Arrests Could Spell Doom for Corzine
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | July 23rd at 08:00 PM |
What worse for a struggling incumbent governor than trailing by 15 points in the polls? Scores of Democratic Party officials – including a member of your administration – arrested and implicated in a widespread official corruption scheme in an investigation begun by your challenger. A two-year corruption and international money-laundering investigation stretching from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn to Israel and Switzerland culminated in charges | Read More »

NJ-GOV: Keep the Money, Chris
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | March 31st at 02:00 PM |
New Jersey and Virginia elect governors this year, and Republicans stand a good chance of taking both. In the Garden State, the GOP likely has a very strong challenger in former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, if he makes it through the primary against former Mayor of Bogota (Bergen County), Steve Lonegan. Christie made his name putting corrupt Democratic politicians in jail, so the primary should | Read More »
