I'm glad he's gone - he sucked as a governor. he had a 30% approval rating and I he finally moved up to a wopping 40% after being at 25% last year.

apparently, this guy he had been having an affair with had been blackmailing him for awhile.
McGreevey has been living an odd double life.

I think it's sad because I often think the "gay" people who are in relationships, even marriage, with the opposite sex do so as a result of the intense ostracizing the gay community gets. Of course I find extramarital affairs wrong and find it must be really hard on the wife, but on the other hand, homosexuals wouldn't be so incognito and using "marriage" as a beard if we had healthy attitudes towards the gay community.
Sadly, I think the right will spin this to their advantage. |

He has been a terrible governor since he started and NJ should be happy to be rid of him. It just sucks that his mug is on all our tourism commercials - which are completely useless now - because it's him pretending to be a happy family man.

I am sort of upset right now by the game he's playing though too. He announced his resignation, but he is not going to resign until AFTER the november elections. If he resigned before the elections - then we would be having a gubernatorial election come November and we would be able to vote for who our new governor would be. Becuase he is waiting though - the president of the Senate, who is a democrat, will be governor until November 2005 elections. Why not just resign and let the VOTERS vote for our next governor.

Nightline is having on about it right now. It's rather interesting - but at this time so much is rumor. It seems as if a lot of what Hobbit was saying is the rumor - the person he had an affair with is blackmailing him.
McGreevey tried making him the terrorism czar for New Jersey, but the guy couldn't get security clearance. He is an Israeli national. McGreevey then made him an aid with a $110,000/yr salary for doing nothing.

Though it's rather hypocritical of him to resign only after the elections. That's the sort of politics that makes me weary of any politician.

No indeed, I haven't seem them. I was commenting more on the idea of having politicians in commercials to inspire people to pay your state a visit. It's probably just because I'm not too fond of politicians and was thinking how it would be when they would do it here too. It just seem odd to me, that's probably a better word for how it seems to me.

He is also in those DMV commercials.
