In his last two ads, Jon Corzine has chosen two of the worst attacks ever in a political campaign.  First, the man who almost died because he had his driver blatently disobey speed laws in a state vehicle runs a commerical about Christie speeding and going down one way streets.  Then, he decides to state that a man who nearly lost his mother to breast cancer wants to deny access to mammograms.  Simply for the lolz, I must ask which one is worse

They're both valid.

The mammogram attack is valid, and Christie has done some backtracking and tweaking of his position on out-of-state insurers.  It's not especially intellectually honest, but it's nonetheless valid.  I think Corzine's making way too much of it, but apparently, it's a good wedge issue with women.

The driving thing isn't about Christie's driving record, it's about the "do you know who I am" stunt he likely pulled.  That doesn't really compare 1:1 to Corzine's accident, but frankly, he should have been walking on eggshells knowing his own negatives.
