I was glad to see Corzine lose. This is a man who bought a Senate seat, then decided he wanted to be Governor so he bought that too. He spent a ton of money to buy this election and he still lost. His campaign was reduced to calling Christie "fat". The man personified corruption and thank God he is gone.
