Exactly what?

The Christie campaign put out their latest television ad yesterday, "Exactly." It's the campaigns attempt to respond to criticisms that they have no specifics, but this ad still, like the story of Christie's campaign, offers no specifics:

To be honest, I'm surprised they weren't talking about property taxes like this sooner. From the ad, we get this for Christie's "plans":
"Here's exactly what I'll do as governor," Christie says boldly. "I'll cut spending and end the special interest giveaways. I'll cut taxes and restore your property tax rebates. I'll bring good jobs back to New Jersey not chase them to other states. And I'll make sure all our children get the education they deserve."
And after he finishes that, he'll give everyone a pony because he has absolutely no workable specifics for how he will do all that. The Governor's campaign didn't miss the opportunity to lay the smack down:
"When middle class families are struggling to get through this economic crisis, why is Chris Christie always fighting against them? Christie would reject President Obama's stimulus funds, even though it would increase our property taxes by $2 billion. He recently said he still backs Bush's tax giveaways for giant corporations and the very wealthiest, and he wants to bring those polices to New Jersey, even though they are the same policies that got us into this mess. The Star Ledger says Christie's plan would 'lead to even higher property taxes' for the middle class. Christie continues to be wrong on property taxes and wrong when it matters most."
As the Democratic Governors Association said, Christie may need a dictionary too because his new ad explains exactly nothing about his plans for how he'll do everything he says.
