Helping Hand: President Obama in New Jersey

The World

President Obama campaigned in New Jersey yesterday, but not for himself. He was out supporting New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, who faces a tough re-election bid. Come November, Corzine will be the only incumbent Democratic governor in the nation to face voters and the results could be a barometer of the nation’s approval of the president. WNYC reporter Bob Hennelly was there in New Jersey.
