NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The Republican who lost New Jersey's bitter gubernatorial race said he would have won had President Bush's popularity not been sagging.
Doug Forrester, who lost to Democrat Jon Corzine by about 9 percentage points last week, told The Sunday Star-Ledger of Newark that dissatisfaction with Bush made it impossible for him to overcome the Democrats' advantages.
"If Bush's numbers were where they were a year ago, or even six months ago, I think we would have won on Tuesday," Forrester said.
