I Love McGreevey

This from Bob Novak's column on Townsquare.com about our not brilliant Governor's endorsement of Howard Dean.

GUESSING WRONG

New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey, who many have guessed wrong in endorsing former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean for president, may find himself challenged for renomination as governor in 2005 by Sen. Jon Corzine.

While McGreevey became the first sitting governor to back Dean shortly before he lost in the Iowa caucuses, Corzine came out for Sen. John Kerry just before he won the New Hampshire primary. New Jersey Democrats say Corzine, a multi-millionaire investment banker who is new to politics, is getting bored with the Senate and is interested in becoming governor.


The wisecrack around the state capitol in Trenton is that McGreevey, with a 34 percent approval rating in New Jersey, is bringing Dean down to his low level of popularity.
