Gov. Corzine Takes Flack For "Weight" Ad
TRENTON (AP) ―
Gov. Jon Corzine says it might have been a "good idea" to use different wording in a campaign commercial criticized by some as a cheap shot at his Republican opponent's girth.
The ad accused Chris Christie of "throwing his weight around" to get out of traffic citations while he was New Jersey's top federal prosecutor. It included unflattering images of Christie struggling to exit an SUV.
Appearing Monday on CNN's "The Situation Room," Corzine said the choice of words may have distracted viewers from the real issue: abuse of power.
Christie has acknowledged that he's struggled with his weight throughout his adult life. He has called the Corzine ad "unseemly."
