The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

CQ: Corzine is toast
Advantage, Christie! CQ Politics has put the New Jersey governor's race into the "R" column saying Jon Corzine has too many negatives to overcome in order to win. Having 44 of his closest friends arrested for corruption will tend to do that to a guy. (h/t Memeorandum)
But the game isn't over yet. Jim Geraghty reports that the "Torricelli maneuver" aka the "New Jersey Switcheroo" might be on the table. New Jersey democrats are famous for pulling a last minute candidate swap when they see their guy tanking in the polls. (The original swap came about when Senator Bob Torricelli's re-election bid got entangled in a corruption probe and the Dems dragged Frank Lautenberg out of mothballs to star in Weekend at Bernies goes to Washington.)
I agree with Steve Kornacki's assessment in The New York Observer — Newark Mayor Cory Booker is the obvious choice to replace Corzine on the ballot. He's squeeky clean, having risen to power in Newark over the ashes of Sharpe James' career after it was derailed by Chris Christie's corruption busting juggernaut.
The only guy standing in Booker's way is Jon Corzine. He's apparently not
budging from his perch atop the democratic party's rapidly sinking chances
to retain the Statehouse. His plummeting popularity is no match for his
enormous ego. That's good news for Mr. Christie and New Jersey, but definitely
bad news for Barack Obama and the Democrats. They've invested a lot of
political capital in Jon Corzine and that investment is now indubitably going
down in flames.
