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.

The Star-Ledger's backdoor endorsement of Jon Corzine
The Star-Ledger editorial board is sneaky. They couldn't come right out and endorse Jon Corzine for re-election. Too many ethics questions surround his candidacy and he's run New Jersey into the ground. But Hell will freeze over before they'll piss off their trade union buddies and consider a republican candidate.
So what to do? Endorse independent Chris Daggett! (h/t Memeorandum)
Daggett sucks votes away from GOP challenger Chris Christie, as Daggett's poll numbers go up, Christie's go down. Earlier this summer Christie led Corzine by 11 points. Daggett is now polling at around 11 percent and Christie and Corzine are tied in a statistical dead heat.
Ergo, a vote for Chris Daggett is a de facto vote for Jon Corzine. The Ledger's game is to siphon votes away from Chris Christie so that Corzine can win with less than 50% of the vote. They know that it's mainly republicans and undecideds who'll pull the lever for Christie; the urban democratic machines will mobilize the Corzine vote no matter what. But their sycophanticly reflexive votes for the democratic line may not be enough to put Corzine over the top. So by endorsing Daggett the Ledger spreads enough uncertainty among the Christie camp to split the vote and hand the election to Jon Corzine.
Chris Daggett can't win. But he can be a spoiler and guarantee the re-election of Jon Corzine.
The Star-Ledger knows that. And they know that the people of New Jersey
are just stupid enough to fall for their diversion.
