Christie to Campaign with Corbett in Pittsburgh Tomorrow.

Ugh. Read the comments at the end of the article. Some of them are quite enjoyable!

"New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the head of the Republican Governors Association, will be campaigning in Pittsburgh with Gov. Tom Corbett Friday."

"The neighbor governors will attend a lunchtime fundraiser for state Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, at the William Penn Hotel, Downtown. After that, Mr. Christie and Mr. Corbett will make a 3 p.m. appearance in Market Square, according to Jim Roddey, chairman of the Allegheny County Republican Party."

"The joint appearances come as Mr. Corbett trails Democratic nominee Tom Wolf in early post-primary polling of the governor's race."

"Mr. Christie has been dogged by the lingering controversy over his associates' roles in the much-criticized George Washington Bridge lane closings last year. But the stories don't appear to have hurt his popularity with the voters of his neighboring state."

was one great reply. Also liked,
"Corbett is going to give Christie pointers on how to trash Rutgers should the football coach not support his next election." But that should be "how to fire the Rutgers coach with a phone call."
I'd forgotten how Corbett bragged to a fellow trustee that he(Corbett) was the one who got the Board to fire Paterno with a late night phone call. However, when it comes to the November election, the vast number of Penn State voters will remember. Corbett is just 7 kinds of a schmuck, isn't he?
