Jon Corzine's Grassroots Power

“The best message you can send to conservative extremists is to show them the grassroots power of everyday people who care about the future of New Jersey.” – Jon Corzine

Note the enthusiasm for Jon Corzine from these “everyday people” in this picture found on the Corzine for Governor Campaign website under the heading "Grassroots Power'.

“Conservative extremists” seems to be Corzine’s favorite expression of late. We’re curious what the Senator means by the term and how it applies to the issues facing the next Governor of New Jersey.

According to this entry by Matt Stoller on the Corzine Connection; “Democrats have been beside themselves over Cheney's scheduled appearance” in New Jersey.

U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J., chairman of Corzine's campaign, was also critical of Cheney: "These are radical conservatives for the Bush administration. What are they doing in New Jersey? They ought to be barred from New Jersey," Lautenberg said at a news conference in Trenton.

It doesn’t take much for these folks to go to pieces does it? Last week Jon Corzine said: “I sometimes look at the blogs and I wonder whether I’m going to survive until the next day, because the right wingers are very aggressive.”
