A big backer of taxpayer-funded [[embryonic stem cell]] research along with other [[pro-aborts]], Corzine was handed a humiliating defeat for reelection in 2009 despite spending $27 million on his campaign. [[Chris Christie]] routed Corzine 49%-45% even though Corzine outspent Christie by more than 2-to-1.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/03/democrats-republicans-prepare-possible-legal-battle-new-jersey-race/</ref> Voters tossed Corzine out of office in light of his inept performance and failed policies. Not OK with only bankrupting a state, he became CEO of MF Global and stole money from his customers to prop up his European socialist buddies. While all of this was going on, Obama referred to Corzine as his Wall Street guy. The collapse of MF Global caused a stock market crash in November 2011 and currently threatens to bring down the entire financial system, according to ZeroHedge. Why the [[Occupy Wall Street]] guys are not protesting Corzine is anyone's guess. | + | '''Jon Corzine''' (born January 1, 1947)<ref>http://www.state.nj.us/governor/about/</ref> is a [[pro-abort]] who served one term as the [[Democrat]]ic governor of the state of [[New Jersey]] from 2006 through 2010.
