McGreedy knows that he's heading straight into a re-election disaster come November, 2004. The first two years have been nothing but series of train wrecks, from the Golan Sipel "affair" to the Santiago gambit.

Unless Republicans back a complete moron in the next election, Jim is out on his ear. However, there's always the Lautenberg seat, should Frank decide that being in the minority doesn't suit him (no big surprise there). If Jim McGreevey is crashing and burning in the polls, he might just jump to the Senate (where re-election is more likely), or, should he appear to be heading back to Trenton for a second term, one of his supporters (Sharpe James?) will be appointed to fill in for Lautenberg.

Either way, I think that Lautenberg will be gone before the next Governor's election regardless of the polls, since Democrats cannot take the chance that a Republican win the Governorship like Whitman did and thereby have the power to appoint a Senator.

Of course, that's just my opinion, your mileage may vary....

I still think McGreevey is going to appoint Donna Dees Thomases to replace Lautencelli (who won't last 2 years in the Senate.)

Donna is (if you read about her in the mainstream media) the "suburban Short Hills mom" who founded the Million Mom March after Columbine, because she wanted to save the children.

In actuality, she's a Democratic party insider, good friend of Hillary (her sister-in-law spearheaded the emptying of Vince Foster's office before the police arrived), former aide to Dan Rather, and McGreevey's foot-in-the-door to the Clinton corruption cesspool.

He is done as governor.
