WOTT: NJ GOV, Tweet By Tweet
It's Primary Day in the battle for NJ GOV, and, as is the custom in modern politics, the drama is playing out on Twitter. Here's a sample of tweets from the two GOPers squaring off today, Ex-U.S. Atty Chris Christie and ex-Bogota, NJ Mayor Steve Lonegan.
Christie: "voted bright and early, now block walk in Summit, then headed to Livingston to see old friends at the Ritz Diner" 6/2, 9:09 AM
Lonegan: "Lonegan Volunteers have started a competition to see how many Lonegan votes they can recruit and confirm - Linda from Sussex County has 7" 11:47 AM
Christie: "From the National Journal: "If Christie loses, the GOP misses its best chance in years to win statewide office in New Jersey." 12:49 PM
Lonegan: "confirmed votes - me, my dad, my aunt, my 2 cousins, my 3 friends, possibly my grandmother and possibly a few people from work. - Chris B." 3:48 PM
What About That Other Guy?
Gov. Jon Corzine has (D) been tweeting, too. But not much (he's probably saving it for the general):
Corzine: "Kicking off my re-election campaign @dailykos: http://bit.ly/jfGa1" 12:53 PM
Corzine: "@LaurenZondag @sunshine1026 @joeygillis we'll see you tonight!"
