Well, this is interesting:
Republicans today accused the state Democratic Party of trying to trick GOP voters into casting their ballots for the independent candidate in an effort to aid Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine, who is seeking re-election Tuesday.
Sen. Joseph Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), the chairman of Republican Chris Christie’s campaign, told a Monmouth County crowd that “Jon Corzine’s Democratic State Committee” has been making automated calls to people urging them to vote against Christie and go for the independent, “that guy Daggett or whatever his name is.”
(…)
The woman’s voice on the recording criticized Christie for being “extremely wrong when it matters most” and admitting to the New York Times that he’s already backing off his promises — key talking points for the Democrats. The unidentified woman then said voters should “remember Chris Daggett’s words: ‘It’s never wrong to vote for the right person,’” quoting a familiar Daggett line.
The call closed with a disclaimer that it was paid for by the “NJDSC, 196 West State Street, Trenton,” which is the address of state Democratic headquarters. Corzine’s name was never mentioned.
Democrats are denying it but it certainly seems like the finger can be pointed right at them.
