Democrats admit dirty trick in NJ campaign

Remember the other day that the left was calling a “dirty trick” an ad supporting Mark Hoffman that portrayed Dede Scozzafava as the most “progressive” candidate in a three way race in New York’s 23rd district? Well, that’s child play compared to Democrats in New Jersey.

Apparently, the state Democrats robo-called voters in Somerset County with an anti-Chris Christie message that purportedly came from the third party Christopher Dagget (PolitickerNJ link);

Before the Democrats owned up to it, Daggett media advisor Bill Hillsman said the call might be a Republican trick to generate a sympathetic newspaper story.

“Yesterday, Jon Corzine’s party boss Joe Cryan said that ‘No, zero, nada, no,’ when asked if he had anything to do with the robocalls,” said Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the Republican State Committee. “Today, it’s clear that Cryan is an outright liar. Corzine’s party boss knows what we know – Jon Corzine’s record is so dreadful that they feel a need to try to trick voters into a second term.”

Yeah, but where’s the “dirty trick” headline?

ADDED: Meanwhile, in Virginia politics, drunken wife-beater Jim Moran took time out of his latest episode with alcohol to comment on the Republican Party in Virginia (Washington Post link);

At a get-out-the-vote rally in Fairfax County, Moran said: “I mean, if the Republicans were running in Afghanistan, they’d be running on the Taliban ticket as far as I can see.”

Moran was talking about Republicans Robert F. McDonnell for governor, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and state Sen. Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, who is running for attorney general. By some accounts, the three represent the most conservative Republican ticket to run in Virginia in many years. Moran’s comments clearly were aimed to motivate Democratic voters to turn out on Tuesday and vote blue.

Yeah, but it’s Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh who’ve turned politics dirty in the nation.
