Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) is up on the air with a new Spanish-language TV ad, with Sen. Robert Menendez making a pitch for Corzine to Latino voters.
Unstated in the ad is that Menendez was himself appointed to the Senate by Corzine. Instead, the ad has Menendez praising Corzine on the more broad-based issue of the economy: “In this economic crisis, New Jersey is one of the states that has suffered the least because of the stewardship of Jon Corzine. He has made difficult, but necessary measures, which is why he has been attacked unfairly.”
The official English translation is available after the jump.
Senator Menendez: In this economic crisis, New Jersey is one of the states that has suffered the least because of the stewardship of Jon Corzine. He has made difficult, but necessary measures which is why he has been attacked unfairly.
Governor Corzine has invested 4 billion dollars for the construction of 52 new schools.
And now New Jersey has the best high school graduation percentage in the country.
Governor Corzine: Senator, come here!
Senator Menendez: Be right there! Let’s support our governor. Jon Corzine is our friend. We should all vote for him.
