Blogs Making An Impact

John Behan over at CommonWealthConservative has a post about the impact bloggers can have on the political races in their home states. His home state of Virginia has the only other major race in the country this year and like New Jersey, the Governor’s seat is up for grabs.

Speaking of home state blogs:

Dynamobuzz went into a mild state of shock when reading the Star-Ledger’s Death by Nickel and Diming op-ed piece that criticizes Acting Governor Codey call for eliminating the 401k deduction. Roberto calls the Ledger out for opposing tax increases only when they threaten the political future of democrats in Trenton.

JerseyStyle says that Jon Corzine’s nine page press release condemning the President’s budget is just fluff. Patrick says Bush should get a chuckle out of a Democratic senator from a state in a fiscal crisis condemning his budget proposal.

ParkwayRestStop covers Jon Corzine campaigning in Newark for Governor and is able to report on the Senator’s secret weapon for drumming up support.

Here’s some support from blogs outside the state:

Daly Thoughts has two posts, one on the state of our gubernatorial race and the other on why the selection of Howard Dean as head of the DNC may be a plus for Republican candidates in New Jersey.

The Hedge Hog Report has started a Poll Watch page for the New Jersey Governor’s race, saving us the extra work – thanks!
