Blue Jersey Friday Haiku

by: Jason Springer

Fri Oct 09, 2009 at 12:15:00 PM EDT



Another week of the campaign season is down and the days keep coming off the calendar before election day.  

Dennis Oury testified against Joe Ferriero. The polls continued to close, with some of them showing Corzine in the lead for the first time. The Lieutenant Governor candidates had their debate. The Leadership battles for the Senate and the Assembly rolled on, while ELEC said less money has been raised and spent on seeking office this year.

So once again we have plenty to work with to begin the weekend in rhyming style.

Rules are simple: You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic.

First topic: Closing polls

Polls are still closing
campaigns come down the home stretch
Just that last poll counts

Next topic: campaign spending
