Chris Daggett won the first televised gubernatorial debate by being the only candidate to spell out specific policies as to how he would reduce property taxes and rein in out-of-control spending, according to the view of pundits who watched the event.
"Daggett was the winner of this debate by a large margin,'' wrote Star-Ledger conservative columnist Paul Mulshine of the Thursday debate. His assessment was shared by New York Times writer David Halbfinger. "But it was the little-known independent, Christopher Daggett, a former Environmental Protection Agency official, who all but stole the show, promoting a plan to cut the state's skyrocketing property taxes by up to 25 percent and haranguing Mr. Christie in particular for lacking a specific plan of his own.''
"Chris Daggett hit the ball out of the ballpark,'' Democrat Michael Murphy said NJN's post-debate broadcast.
Josh McMahon, a columnist for NewJerseynewsroom.com wrote, "When the final words had been spoken it was clear that Daggett had the best night. He was the most intellectually engaging, the one with new ideas. And he was entertaining.''Unfortunately for Daggett, he is running a very distant third in the three-way race with Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine and Republican Chris Christie.
The candidates will debate a second time on Oct. 18.

Daggett is the only viable candidate and there are many of us who are voting for him because we know he can win and is the only candidate who can change this state. The Star Ledger's endorsement echoes and re-affirms that Daggett is a viable candidate and can win.
Furthermore, Daggett is now polling at 18%.

There even rumors on that NYC Mayor Micheal Bloomberg will endorse Daggett. If Still think Daggett Can't win then read this to find out why your wrong. 11 Years ago Jesse Ventura was polling in the low teens, much lower than Daggett just three weeks before the election and he won.

Only voter's have the power to change the government. We must refuse to be held captive to the broken two-party system that has brought a plaque of scandal and corruption into our government by fear of voting for a third party. Its time to send a message to politicians in NJ and all across the country Its time to end politics as usual.
NJ Remember, a vote for Daggett is not a wated vote, IT'S A VOTE FOR CORSLIME!
