Here is a very nice article that appeared over the weekend on the Philadelphia Inquirer website that I thought i would pass along. It talks about Governor Corzine's accomplishments while in office and what kind of legacy he can point to in the future: As Gov. Corzine heads into what are likely to be the final weeks of his political life, following the failure of his reelection bid on...

Sharon Elghanayan. We have a feeling that Jon Corzine is going to be just fine. After his defeat on Tuesday, the governor took off for St. Barts on a private plane with his 64-year-old psychotherapist girlfriend, Sharon Elghanayan. And apparently she's the kind of 64-year-old who can still get away with wearing a bikini. [ NYP ] Read more posts by Zeke Turner Filed Under: after the fall , cougars...

Promoted by Jason Springer: Here is JRB's take. The White House wants David Paterson out of the running for New York's 2010 gubernatorial election. Paterson hopes they'll reconsider. Because hey -- it worked for Jon Corzine . In early August, David Axelrod and Patrick Gaspard met at a New York City hotel with Corzine's campaign staffers, asking whether or not the incumbent governor could...

The lame duck Governor of New Jersey, Jon Corzine may have finally done something fiscally responsible for a change. He's called for a freeze in $400 million in spending that the state simply doesn't have. I guess we should be thankful for token measures and ignore the fact that the state budget passed for FY2009-2010 should never have included that spending in the first place, and that last...

In an interesting read, Senate President Dick Codey barely waited until the votes were counted before he started telling some of the back stories of the twists and turns in the Corzine campaign. Codey said he got a call from the White House a week after Vice President Joe Biden appeared at Corzine's poorly attended primary night kickoff rally in West Orange in June. "They wanted...

... unpopular Democratic Governor in a traditionally "blue" State. New Jersey? New York? Corzine? Paterson? Could we be talking about an interchangeable mindset in the two neighboring states, at least among likely voters? If fate is the hunter, Jon Corzine having been shot down in the Garden State last Tuesday like a wayward deer lost on the Parkway, then Governor David Paterson,...

The Fish Wrap Of Record is still spinning away at why Corzine lost New Jersey, one of the Bluest of Blue states, trying to blame it on Corzine’s short-comings and it having nothing to do with Obama, despite Barry’s numerous visits to the state, but, inadverdently makes an interesting point: Unlucky and Aloof, Corzine Fell [...]

As governor, Jon S. Corzine seemed miscast in Trenton, where he was considered too distant to fully engage in the tussle of governing, and where he faced setbacks that were not entirely his fault.

Now that the election is over, many people are willing to speak where they weren't before the votes were cast. Following a poor performance for the Governor in Union County, Senator Ray Lesniak laid the blame squarely at the feet of Corzine: "You just don't get the vote out at election time and be successful. It has to be a year-round communication, a year- round interaction," Lesniak...
