NJ Gubernatorial Candidate To Giuliani: Butt Out!

Who knew former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani could feel threatened by an Independent candidate scoring single digits in the polls and running in… New Jersey? Giuliani, a supporter of Republican gubernatorial candidate and admitted fat guy Chris Christie, does seem a little threatened by Independent candidate Chris Daggett, though. He told the Post that Daggett should drop the race and stop stealing votes from the Republican side.

Daggett was quick to respond with: "I'd ask him to withdraw from New Jersey. I don't know why he's coming into New Jersey and trying to tell us how to run our state." The Independent candidate claims the GOP is in fact "scared" because Christie has steadily dropped in the polls. Then again, today's Fairleigh Dickinson University poll said Corzine leads Christie, 44 to 43 percent, with six percent backing Daggett, while 4 percent are undecided.

"This electorate is volatile," said Daggett, who’s at least winning over members of the press. "It is never wrong to vote for the right person."
