New Jersey independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett is walking back his claim that Sarah Palin meddled in the New Jersey race and encouraged him to quit, saying on MSNBC this morning that he’d heard about Palin’s involvement not from her, but when “someone mentioned that she had said something.”
“I was asked about it,” Daggett said. “I responded and said the same thing I said about it when Rudy Giuliani spoke, and that is, ‘Why is an outside person making recommendations about what we ought to do here in New Jersey?'”
It was a lot of end-of-campaign nonsense, frankly, and not having any bearing on this election one way or another.
After Daggett mentioned Palin as an NJ-Gov meddler on Sunday, Palin fired back on Facebook that she hadn’t asked him to drop out of the race — and then implied he should.
