And for the next 20 minutes or so, the two clashed in a way familiar to New Jersey voters: on property taxes, corruption and other policy issues. But when Mr. Pressman asked Mr. Corzine if he supported lowering the drinking age, he was caught off guard. Mr. Corzine, looking flustered, did not know that the age was 21, but said that he did not have a problem with lowering it to 18, considering that men and women that young are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. But after the debate, when pressed by reporters, he backtracked and said that he did not support lowering the age. "I wish I had been better prepared," he said. "I was focused on the 18-year-olds serving in Iraq." His campaign also released a statement after the debate, repeating Mr. Corzine's opposition and noting that he had fought in the United States Senate to strengthen the nation's drunken-driving laws. nytimes.com
