JERSEY GOVERNOR RACE TURNS UGLY: CHARGES OF ABORTION, AFFAIRS DRIVE LAST DAYS
Sat Nov 05 2005 11:06:43 ET
New Jersey Public Radio & Television aired a report Friday night in which New Jersey Democratic Candidate for Governor Jon Corzine was grilled about whether a staffer he allegedly had an affair with -- had an abortion.
NJN News’ Michael Aron reported Friday: “The press is interested right now in personal conduct. Corzine was asked about a persistent rumor that he had an affair with a staffer whom the reporter identified by name.”
Sen. Jon Corzine: “A, not true. B, I’m not going to comment on the kind of, I think, low, guttural politics that’s going on over and over in this state, and I think the ad that was talked about was just symptomatic of that.”
NJN’s Michael Aron: “He was asked about a rumor that the same staffer had an abortion in Ohio. “ Reporter: “Can you respond to those rumors that are circulating?”
Corzine: “Trash.”
Saturday's edition of THE NEW YORK TIMES reported the incident but ignored the specifics: “But Mr. Corzine did deny a new allegation raised by reporters yesterday regarding another woman.”
TIMES reporter David Kocieniewski has been investigating the claims, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"He had the details. He's sat on the details," says a source.
Meanwhile, sex charges have been leveled at Corzine's republican challenger, Doug Forrester.
At an appearance in Woodbridge, Forrester denied that he had an extramarital affair, which was reported in a NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, which attributed the allegation to an e-mail it had received. "These are false accusations. It is wrong. It is despicable. It is the example of the kind of campaign that Jon Corzine has been running from the beginning," he said.
A final debate is set for tonight at 7.
New Jersey voters head to the polls on Tuesday.
Developing...
At least Corzine isn't gay.
LOL!!!
OF: Can you ping some of the NJ Freepers?

He will be by Tuesday.
FYI! Looks like the info is now getting out about the sleezy Corzine.
Would it make a difference if she did have the abortion but is was the child of someone else with whom she had more or less simultaneous affairs?
Seems like the logical denial to me.

A NYT reporter sat on the details of a scandal that might damage a Dem candidate? I'm shocked!
New Jersey Public Radio & Television??? What was heard in the control room, "quick, break to commerc... er, fundraiser!"???
If they can find a stained dress, Corzine's approval level will be at least 70%.
Thanks for the ping PKM!
ON another note, where is damning info about the racial slurs and cosily being drunk?
That is what I want to come out by Monday not Wednesday!
As I have said on a previous thread, the Newark buses will be running overtime! argh!
We had a GREAT candidate--Bret Schundler. Forrester outspent him 3 to 1 and slimed him late in the campaign .
The only thing that reconciles me to voting for Forrester is listening to Corzine's plans for the state.
My husband is from here, and most all his friends are republicans, so that part was easy, but in business... forget it!!!
A guy (DU type) came by my office on Thurs. to tell me Cheney's approval ratings were at 18%, hoping to get a rise out of me. I just shrugged it off and said polls are skewed, no biggie! Cheney still Rocks!
He then walked back out. I think he was hoping I would burst out in tears or something ..LOL
Typical. One guy has an affair with an assistant and aborts the baby. So the MSM blames the other guy for womanizing. Meantime, according to Drudge, the New York Times reporter "had the details [but] . . . sat on the details."
They wouldn't want to tell the truth about their good, liberal, abortion loving friend Corzine. They'd rather help the Daily News spread lies about Forrester, by mentioning that he is suspected of sexual escapades but not mentioning that there is no evidence for this charge.
Never let it be said that the Times worried more about printing the news than getting their favorite slime elected to public office.
