As you probably know by now, Governor Jon Corzine (D-NJ) was critically injured in an automobile accident last night while driving on the New Jersey Turnpike. Reports reveal that the Governor was not wearing a seal belt at the time of the accident.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Governor Corzine, his family and the people of New Jersey.
DoubleSpeak wishes the Gov. a speedy recovery!

We just got finished the interview with Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ). It went well. It was a quick pull-aside, so we didn’t have much time to get deep into the issues, but we’ll include this interview in our NJ show, which should be up tomorrow.
Gov. Corzine was speaking at the New Jersey NAACP convention, so we touched on some race related issues in our interview.
On a funny note, we were waiting for a friend outside of the hotel to go grab some lunch when Republican Senate candidate Tommy Kean Jr. rolled in, presumably to speak to convention goers.
I jumped out of the minivan, cannon camera in hand and started flashing photos of candidate Kean as he got our of his car.
His body man, some young college kid drew his arms (camera) and started taking pictures of the DoubleSpeak minivans license plate. Got Paranoia?
They are freaking out. I guess when you base your entire campaign on lies, smears and fiction, you should be a little bit paranoid as you travel your home state.
We’re going to coat our stomachs with some Indian food and then we’ll head into Brooklyn for a night of production and friends.

Day 5
9:08 AM ET.
Saturday morning. Most people are enjoying their breakfast, reading the New York Times or getting ready for their favorite college football team to play.
Not us. We are slowly waking up, getting showered and packed and heading out to meet the Governor of the great Garden State, Jon Corzine.
Like most campaign staff across the nation, we no longer have a weekend, it will all mesh into one hard, but rewarding work week.
We want to publicly thank our gracious hosts in Jersey, Tara and Anita. Due to our need to be up until 1am producing quality online radio, we kept you awake. Sorry. We left some pizza in the fridge for you.
We finished our first on the road episode last night and it will be up shortly! Enjoy your day. More from me later.
