The Auditor provides the scoop on the demands made by political stars coming to New Jersey to stump for Jon Corzine and Doug Forrester for Governor. This is our favorite.

One requirement during a visit by Democratic Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the 2004 presidential candidate, was a "rope line" that would permit Kerry to shake hands with people while still maintaining crowd control.

"What crowd?" cracked one Corzine adviser. "Two hundred people showed up."
