Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) is all too aware of the effect that the economy has had on his re-election fight this fall, in which he’s trailing in the polls.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Corzine spoke last night at Rider University, where he predicted that the economy will recover. “I believe we need to take a positive view that we will turn this ship, this economic ship,” he said.
However, he later added: “I wish it had turned six months ago. It would have made it a lot easier to run for reelection.”
