The Obama effect

So much for the Obama effect.

In the first election since his historic win last November, the president made several visits to New Jersey to boost the chances of incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine.

It didn’t help. Corzine fell to Republican Chris Christie, and this despite a strong third-party candidate who was expected to hurt the GOP standard bearer.

Obama was in the Garden State on Sunday.

But voters showed Corzine the door.
