Corzinification

Here-e-e-e-e-e's Johnny!

Shortly after his departure from Goldman Sachs, Corzine entered public services upon election to the United States Senate in November 2000. While serving in the nation’s capitol, Corzine quickly put his expertise in financial and regulatory matters to work as the driving force behind a forward-looking, progressive agenda.

As a member of the United States Senate, Corzine co-authored the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a piece of legislation designed to crack down on corporate malfeasance crafted in the wake of accounting scandals surrounding Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, and other major corporations.

Corzine was also a sponsor of the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Act, which expands children’s health care and expands coverage for pregnant women. He supported legislation outlawing the practice of racial profiling and, with Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, was chief sponsor of the Darfur Accountability Act to address genocide in the Sudan. Corzine was also only one of 23 members of the Senate to vote against the Iraq War Resolution. Corzine entered the New Jersey governor’s race in 2005, and shortly after his Election Day victory, resigned from the U.S. Senate to take the oath of office as New Jersey governor on Jan. 17, 2006. As governor, he has continued to build on his reputation as a progressive, yet fiscally-responsible public servant.

I think tonight's election results are too soon to state "what it means", and I have no patience for the talking heads passing gas publicly, but early indications are that the Messiah is sailing into locusts and famine.

No Shit?

Peter Collier on the Right's Resurrection

For Mr. Rich, Hoffman is a ‘right-wing Stalin’ incarnate.

Katrina Vanden Heuval:

In many ways, the election was a referendum on an extremist conservatism that has guided (and deformed) American politics and society since the 1980s. The sharp failures of the Bush administration and, perhaps most important, the shift in public views on the economy and the Iraq War led to a watershed moment—and a historic opportunity for a progressive governing agenda and a mandate for bold action.

If any state needs a tax cut, it's Jersey. Hopefully the NJ legislature will acquiesce. Big win.

A lot of folks share your enthusiasm, Kreiz. I look forward to 2010.
