Forrester's Ad Cites Corzine's Ex-Wife

The New York Times reports on the New Jersey Governor's race:

The flare-up, in a race that has offended many voters with its attack ads by both candidates, came one day after Joanne Corzine said that her ex-husband's quest for political power had led him to abandon both his family and his principles.

When Mr. Forrester was asked about her remarks on Wednesday, he called it a "private matter" and said he would not use it as fodder for a campaign ad. But by Thursday morning, the Forrester campaign had released a 15-second commercial, titled "Quote." It had no spoken words, just a black screen that scrolls through a quotation attributed to Ms. Corzine in The New York Times on Wednesday in which she said her ex-husband had "let his family down, and he'll probably let New Jersey down, too."

You have to wonder whether either candidate is best suited for the massive problems facing New Jersey.
