OMG - McGreavey is Gay! Wow! This is amazing! He's come out!

[Pachamama]

Why is he quitting? He shouldn't....he should stay in place...

I was just on the thread for Gay Marriage and then saw the press conference.....

I actually called this as I saw him say his first words....

[Dookus]

[LastKnight]

11. i posted before he said anythign of the affair. also

he came out and said this stuff, no allegations were made (as far as i know), he owned up to it didnt try to hide anything

15. If they were true this would probably be a criminal matter and not a civil

matter.

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard in a criminal matter. The plaintiff only needs to prove the allegations with a preponderance of the evidence for a civil matter.

24. Well, if its Sexual Harrassment, it could be a form of official oppression

Ive also heard rumor of "rape". How true that is, is anyones guess.

[Killarney]

4. I think an aide is suing him for rape. A male aide.

[displacedtexan]

6. Well, there's that little rape charge problem...

Whether it's true or not, it's kind of a career killer for Democrats.

We're not like Arnold, the predator.

9. McG has been great on tax issues in NJ. In fact, I can't think of many...

...politicians in America who have done a better job of taking the allocation of the tax burden as seriously and addressing it as smartly as McG.

I wish he wouldn't quit, and I hope that whoever takes his place is as good on this issue.

[dolo amber]

10. Wow...

he's AWESOME!! :loveya:

I may cry...:cry:

[BlueStateGirl]

12. I am crying.

[michigandem2]

17. This is so sad. Truly sad that his sexuality is forcing him to resign..

I would cry if I wasn't in shock.

[Swede]

18. That was astounding,really tough to watch.

[dmr]

19. This is heartbreaking

If I lived in NJ, I'd ask him to stay.

I'll send him a letter of support anyway.

[DaveinMD]

20. that was

an amazing press conference. He has other corruption issues. He was getting pressure to resign before this. Corzine will be the candidate next year and will be near impossible for the Republicans to beat.

[rocktivity]

21. Oh, great--just what the Democrats need

This is exactly what Mike Malloy was talking about less then 24 hours ago--the problem isn't what been done, but how it's going to be spun. If only McGreevey HAD come out--he just did this to avoid being CAUGHT out.

23. The GOP/Bu$h strategy: Distract from the real issues of IRAQ, JOBS and

the Economy by talking about Abortion, Gay Marriage, Terrorism, Fear, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Terrorism, Fear, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Terrorism, Fear, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Terrorism, Fear, Abortion, Gay Marriage, Terrorism, Fear,....
