Just last week, Christie, the Republican, unveiled his alternative energy proposals in an online video and social networking blitz partly aimed at green bloggers. The campaign manager for Corzine, the incumbent Democrat, used a video message to tell supporters that a rally with President Obama moved to a new venue.

That tactic is one of several taken from the playbook of the Obama team, which sent regular dispatches from campaign manager David Plouffe, said Juan Melli, who guides Corzine's new media operation. "There's no point in reinventing the wheel -- you always want to learn from people who do things right," he said.
