" Well we had. The first in the nation economic recovery plan where we're giving up 3000 dollar grant to small businesses you have 33000. Applications.

In the country change in economic direction of the country. And investing in infrastructure making sure we're sustaining our investment in schools and and that's not really answering.

" happy to take mr. spectacular and get you dictionary is today it's only you can take a four billion dollar tax increase -- all the tax cut. As we go. That's reality yeah let me turn to your question and I think the question I get -- address his question -- other relevant question when you're out. You're very concerned about -- get the job and you should be. Because if we continue. To have as you have for the last two years in -- The worst business tax climate in America -- New Jersey. The worst climate for small business. In the last eight years 450000. People have left the city New Jersey with that. Net and they've taken the job with the nation went into this with that is the problem that we have a New Jersey and have to solve it is and I'm too expensive to live audience that -- I come to expect that to operated business here. -- of businesses are leaving for states like Pennsylvania and Delaware. In either order into Connecticut really causing heart aches and they know we're we're gonna be here and I really look anything can serve as any you know government and essentially that no longer health care -- tax -- really every year. And I don't ask me if he's mr."
" Zach and I answered Roberts roberts' son already know by tax -- when we're gonna have of the terror perhaps more balanced -- where we're -- his tax system in New Jersey not so reliant on the property taxes. Getting corporate tax. Income taxes reducing. Will make this -- more attractive not only for the people who you are here can also and that's that's how local parishioners they're not coming into visiting. We also should take some additional money. I that we can find through our cost savings. You to invest in higher education because right now we're fiftieth out of fifty states the only stated this invest in higher education the last decade if it's shameful acquire. Where we are -- putting ourselves and our nation where our questions occur some of them are staying here it's great number of us are going to stick. We do our best high tech our future they -- green taxes would not benefit from Biotech as you all sorts of things that that these are the high tech jobs of the future and high paying jobs that. If we can do that and if we develop better collaborative relationship between higher education and industry. Between that and the various tax cuts and balancing the system we can make his fair more competitive and more attractive to businesses."
" Thank you missed today governor Corzine's thirty seconds for -- well first of all let me agree with mister Beckett mr. -- Another example is the last Tuesday as you're gonna go. It's a multi time world that telling people that we had the highest unemployment rate of 13% to that we have been him below the national average won handily winning -- that three month. Since the recession we do agree with. This is just misleading which blocking down the statements may not really going on -- and thank our governor ought to have a positive but he. Thank you governor if he can't help -- one dollars and move water around -- this -- social issues that face -- state of New Jersey we have we begin with Joanne Lee. From William Paterson University a question for mr. Crist --"
" Mr. Christie at the negative campaigning in this race has been described as ugly. What would just say Canadian Jersey voters who want and expect clear campaign messages on the important issues. Relevant ads that attack political opponents."
" Well let's say in his own -- to. And I will tell -- you know I think tonight would be good night for medium that everybody you know little secret. You know over the last number of months. The governor his campaign has been whispering around and implying around certain things so lets us. That you all have our little secret the -- who had noticed over the last eight years without the public life. I'm slightly overweight. Now apparently this has become a great cause for discussion in the state in New Jersey at so let me just live right after -- it. I am. And I've struggled with my -- for a good part of my life so sure many you have in this audience and many people at home. I don't know what that has to do being governor New Jersey. And the worst part of it is I don't know why the governor just won't admit that that's exactly what he and his staff have been doing. Didn't bother me when I was US attorney and grows people in jail and it won't bother me to be an active governor a way to get off that's up to about two. Thank you mr. Christie mr. deck."
" No flooding. Thank you very much."
" Mr. that I think I may not inundated with campaign that will not run negative campaigns. I pledge to not -- and I haven't done it and I continue not to do it it's only serve to get people in this state turned off. They're sick of it. Both campaigns Republican and Democrat have embarrassed our statement this kind of negative campaigning. I'm sick of it I know most voters are sick of it and -- they spent millions of dollars of special interest money. Breaking going around me. Campaign finance laws of New Jersey by funneling money into Washington the Republican and Democratic Governors Association only to be coming back here in negative campaigning in mud -- happens nobody -- so we want to know what we're doing to fix this statement and that's what we should be focusing on from moment one. They're campaigning only serve to suppress votes because it turns people off -- cynical about the system decision -- what I wanna vote. Because it's so nasty so let's do. What's the right thing which is safe and it's negative campaigning and focus on that really she's widening base doesn't think we're running out of advertising you were to happen to -- that."
" Yeah I -- obviously our thoughts. We'll flexible I don't player who fought out supporters to -- I do care about what manner of things I think we'll stated I can't support -- incumbent. Hello Jack where I can help you. I don't know right now I don't like the other guy and his company that Sean. Shouldn't provide the other earlier this the other -- is insurance policies people citizens in this positive when you're gonna for the bottom of this and that's why I'm mandated sales still hasn't changed I know differently -- make sure that woman had 48 hours day. -- War yes but you were negative that I don't get serious that -- before you belong to simply get -- noncallable for the other -- you know Chris -- gates obviously --"
" Let me just finish the points I think the answer our about the negative campaigning has turned into specifics about health care. Without a reference to obesity that I heard him anyway."
" What he needed heatedly in the definitely doesn't but it hasn't found what was what was the negative -- about mammograms everything's and that came out -- lot of other than any other solutions."
" you know condolences and and who want to India on governor thank you seriousness. Mr. Christie. I don't know but in the in the same state as the governor Arnold watching this TV ads I have to tell you the truth. You know we all know what the governor's campaign has been all about this summer. And what it's been all about his character assassination. You've all seen it. You've seen twenty million dollars plus for him. Talk about everything from how I drive car to how much -- way -- whether I stay long enough in congress and it as any -- created shop for all of you. Is that a good reason attacks are -- were -- to realize that informal and habitats will help us."
" I and I don't -- don't do anything negative -- issue based consulting -- but he didn't raise the issues of what he would do. As opposed to the record raising fears about its way to mark button mice but my concern would be that Chris Christie is that. There are some ethical issues and when you put yourself on it and when you put yourself that you paint yourself ads -- champion who's busting corruption. You have to be very -- a -- your own behavior. And -- some things like that sort of that has not been raised right and overhead and until I think that's legitimate and I."
" But it was in line of attack because that's from the very beginning when -- announces Tennessee February. He said this is what my campaign's all about -- being the kind of guy that I am in two different from Jon Corzine. And was all about as his personality that's -- and -- Supreme Court justice that text well. Track record the standing broad spectrum of our society this is probably -- issues of people based on the data they associate -- had my grandma's. I think at this -- let them very Christian -- took place in the courtroom and understands laws and the rest of work but I don't think any -- are judged as people believe that we're just. The associated my own social issues are actually to -- I don't think we quality so much about the Democrats and Republicans have been a tradition somehow in New Jersey. Of having some balance between Democrats and Republicans why foundation and it's not just Democrat -- good. Where it -- even. Pennsylvania showed about it finance our cars and has made I want to say well. There's an issue in the chattering class -- those issues for voters who really and and in. -- there's not much allowed inside ballgame you know that's what they have not mention his and I would it Corzine administration is can people have continued to lead up. -- he has a front office of new people all the time. That's a problem when humanity statement. I. And I had not. Studied enough for the Supreme Court justices individual activities it is Wednesday."
" Better now I've heard staggering number of times in interviews that I Brad say I don't have that information there I'm not sure is that okay parents found. I think it's okay for dad because he's. He's really gone what I'm going to be candid on the putting out there I'm gonna raise again thank you know I think he's really. Positioning himself as someone who is different and -- even do that you have to behave differently however -- should I have all the Leon you know. We get away with it and nothing get away with it that's -- that's what happens in -- music calculated risks -- Say you know what I can studied this that the other but I can't say that but if I unnamed is a lot better forehand. To do that -- to try to answer a question and not have and I had the information. I notice he's keeping his answers as free as possible as opposed him."
" He was a Republican and democratic could get away with that he'd be the focus right in and literally speaking kinda fun but -- property tax -- the Democrat -- Republican and put up a -- definitely been. Griffin -- they would eviscerate Andy's the -- who can spend money. And the -- well that was a -- certainly wish that that's kind that the US needed to try hard earned in Corzine campaign. Is that they're trying to portray him somebody looking at the thing that's the world that the using inside you campaign doesn't -- is that -- and Chris -- since he had to US attorney. Line."
" And a sense of compassion -- conquering -- faster growing up in Mercer county justice Sam Alito. I would be someone who would be a model for me because Justice Alito is someone who understands. The plight of people. Every day the team before and focus US attorney. Minister circuit court judge announced Supreme Court justice he has the kind of brilliant legal mind would want anyone who's gonna be in a court of last resort. You want someone who thinks. Feels these problems and understands how to resolve the from a legal perspective you also -- a Supreme Court that understands its role. And the Supreme Court rules not to legislate supreme court's role is not to make laws from the bench if they want to legislate the -- for the legislature. What they should do on the supreme courts interpret the laws and interpret the constitution. As a Justice Alito has gone in his career and those that -- the justices voted stronger for clinicians in the."
" A lawyer and Manila as a lawyer our -- I -- I didn't listen to that answer and I remember that when Sonia Sotomayor now our Supreme Court justice it was being. -- Issue that was raised and also the ability to relate to people and a and not to legislate from the bench because of the things that she had said in the past that and Latin women black --"
