	City Belt: Jim Florio, Somebody Still Loves You
		James J. Florio had distinguished himself among South Jersey Democrats by being the only one who was not at that time behind bars.
		James Florio had the audacity to behave like he was the governor and you weren’t, and it therefore followed that he might have a clearer perspective on matters of state than you did.
		The campaign manager was James Carville, who I say with deep conviction is no more or less of a “genius” than Karl Rove is. His strategy, like all political strategies, boiled down to an attempt to get the candidate to be all things to all people and to avoid pissing off the moneymen.
