I Guess Corzine Thought He Was Gonna Win

That might explain why New Jersey didn't budget any money to pay for a gubernatorial transition:

Gov.-elect Chris Christie stopped by the Jim Gearhart show on 101.5 FM radio and dropped a bomb: There are no transition funds. He told the morning radio legend: “Interestingly, the state didn’t fund the transition. They didn’t put any money in the budget for a transition so we need to talk about making sure that we get that squared away.” Four years ago there was $250,000 for the Codey transition out of the governor’s office. And $250,000 for Corzine to transition in. Incidentally, a lot less was spent than was budgeted. So, what happened here? Did the big thinkers under the Gold Dome think Corzine was a sure winner so transition funds were not necessary? Did they just forget? Where does the transition money come from in this cash-strapped state? A bake sale? Corzine makes a contribution as a parting gift? Ideas, anyone?

Corzine could probably fund it with what's in his sock drawer. Let him pay for it.
