Forrester blames Bush

First off, Doug Forrester is dreaming if he thinks that his is true. But he came out yesterday and blasted George Bush as the reason things went wrong for him in the campaign for Governor of New Jersey:

In an interview published yesterday in The Star-Ledger of Newark, the state's largest newspaper, Mr. Forrester said his campaign had done "all the right things we were supposed to do." Still, he said, he could not overcome a spate of bad news for Mr. Bush, like the administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina.

There was a lot more going against Forrester than President Bush, including New Jersey's Democratic leanings and Forrester's willingness to bring his opponent's ex-wife into the battle.

But if Republicans want to pin the blame in George Bush, I'm not against it. It certainly won't be bad for Democrats to have Republicans weary and spreading the word that Bush will bring them down in 2006.
