"On Monday Joe Biden will appear with Corzine at a noon-time rally in Edison and Barack Obama will swoop in to embrace the governor Wednesday afternoon in Hackensack," Walter Shapiro writes for Politics Daily.

Corzine, in contrast, is expected to exceed the $40-million mark.” If the parties were reversed, we’d be seeing a lot of chin-tugging analysis about the evils of money in politics. ...
