Everyone was comparing him to CORZINE.

anyway, I think Holt is going to run for Gov in a few years. I'd be surprised if his war chest took much of a hit from this election.

Jackson, 48, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years and his wife, Sandra Stevens Jackson, 49, to a term of 12 months. The couple pleaded guilty in February to using about $750,000 in campaign funds to pay for items from the pedestrian to the luxurious: car repairs and trips to Costco, in addition to fur wraps and a gold-plated Rolex watch.

The former congressman will report to prison on or after Nov. 1 and his wife will serve her term after his release. Jackson could serve less than his full sentence if he receives credit for good behavior. The judge also ordered the couple to forfeit $750,000, and Jackson must perform 500 hours of community service.

The plea agreement that Jackson signed this year outlined the extent to which the couple did not distinguish between their personal and political finances.

The Jacksons admitted using campaign credit cards to make about 3,100 personal purchases over seven years starting in August 2005. Among the expenses: a $466 dinner at the Mandarin Oriental’s CityZen restaurant, $10,000 for multiple flat-screen TVs and DVD players from Best Buy and $2,300 in transportation services at Disney World.

I think so, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends something like

Corzine 38-Christie 36-Daggett 25

I'll vote for whoever is ahead in the polls between Daggett and Christie before Election Day.
