Governor prepares to meet his future (McGreevy - marriage over?)
With two months left in a term truncated by scandal, Gov. James E. McGreevey is planning his post-government future, hunting for office space in the friendly confines of Middlesex County and for a home along the Hudson River waterfront.

McGreevey has yet to publicly comment on his plans, but five of the governor's friends, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he is considering a move to Bergen or Hudson County.

(snip)

First lady Dina Matos McGreevey, meanwhile, has been house-hunting in Cranford and nearby towns, indicating the couple's four-year marriage is unlikely to survive the governor's bombshell announcement last month that he is gay and had an adulterous affair with a man.

McGreevey, who set Nov. 15 as his resignation date, will be helped in his passage from public official to private citizen with up to $500,000 in taxpayer's money. Under state law, outgoing governors are permitted a transition fund for up to six months, though that term was extended for former Govs. Christie Whitman and Jim Florio.

1. If I weren't in a commited relationship, I just might date the guy.
The pictures of him looked "cute". But, could I ever trust him? Hell no!

:evilgrin:

2. I have to say it:
McGreevey getting gone is gonna be good for Democrats in NJ. I get no pleasure from saying that, but there it is. He has been sucking huge amounts of money out of the state Democratic Committee coffers for quite a while, hurting the party and treating it like his own piggybank.

Look for Corzine to be the real power and clean up Dodge City. Corzine will be our next elected governor. Take that to the bank.
