Flagg--
Take a look at the polling data on voters' priorities. The type of corruption you're talking about does not rate high on the list.
Also, as the GOP has not exactly said "no" to building, ah, collaborative relationships with the affluent, how could Romney make a point about this relationship without having to answer tough questions of his own?
Finally, if the investigative process establishes that Mr. Corzine was incompetent (but not corrupt), then the Romney campaign will have spent a lot of energy, time, and money ineffectively. This ineffectiveness would, on its own, provide plenty of grounds of criticism. (That is, the president's supporters could say that, as a candidate, Romney cannot even identify issues that merit his focus. How can he be counted on to do so as president?)
