Time to hold our noses and support Forrester in the General Election. He was my last choice of the seven, but he will be better than Corzine, by a long shot.

It just saddens me to see yet another NJ race between a Billionaire and a Billionaire. But now that it is basically illegal to raise campaign funds in NJ, you need to be a Billionaire to run for statewide office, so you can finance yourself. Until the rules are changed, I doubt we will see a candidate in the general election from either party for any state-wide office that is not capable of self-financing. Self-financing gives a candidate an insurmountable edge in the primary contests, even if the candidate is as lousy as Forrester or Corzine.

For a gov. race I don't know if it matters between a billionare RINO or a billionare Dem.

Unless Forrester really pushes school choice or tort reform as an issue, I'd vote third party.
