In a world of wild politics, N.J.’s Senate race is surprisingly tame
Running for statewide office in New Jersey tends to bring out the worst in people, or at least some of the nastiest campaign ads this side of Willie Horton.
There was Republican Doug Forrester’s campaign in 2005, with an ad reminding voters of the bad blood between Jon Corzine and his ex-wife.
There was the 1996 senate race — then seen as a national model for mud-slinging — that included an ad by Democrat Robert Torricelli featuring seniors in wheelchairs warning that Dick Zimmer would cut their Medicare.
And there were scraps in which New Jersey candidates called each other too old, sympathetic to drunken drivers, crooked, incompetent and liars — complete with noses that grew just like Pinocchio’s. (Rizzo, The Star-Ledger)
