Risky Decision

Oops?

Meanwhile, Gov. Corzine is pretty much letting Team Obama run his campaign for him:

Every TV ad that Mr. Corzine puts on the air is being screened by the president’s team. The governor’s aides are giving daily briefings to the White House. Mr. Obama’s pollsters have taken over for Mr. Corzine’s polling team, and White House operatives are on the ground for everything from internal strategy sessions to obscure pep rallies with Latino supporters.

On Thursday, Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Mr. Obama, promoted Mr. Corzine in meetings with Democratic women in the morning and black ministers in the afternoon.

In addition, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and a parade of cabinet secretaries are coming to the state to try to boost Mr. Corzine’s dismal poll numbers.

The state is one of only two nationwide holding governor’s contests this year. And Mr. Obama’s aides acknowledge that a loss in this deep-blue state would be interpreted as a rebuke of Mr. Obama, affecting his ability to pass major legislation and the public’s perceptions of his party’s power.

The attention has brought an added intensity to what is already an expensive, high-stakes and almost relentlessly negative battle between Mr. Corzine and his Republican challenger, Christopher J. Christie, a former United States attorney.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
