Acting Gov. Richard Codey had a conversation recently with this wife, Mary Jo, about his next career move.

Because the suggestion on the table was a move to the United States Senate.
If Sen. Jon Corzine wins the gubernatorial election in November, he'll appoint his own replacement in Washington to serve out the final year of his term.
Codey, by far the most popular politician in the state, now says he might want the job.

President Corzine? Not in 2008.
How does one get to be the most popular politician in New Jersey? I don't know the answer to this question. I wonder if it has something to do with avoiding indictment.

Codey doesn't have a prayer of having Don Corzleone appoint him to the open seat. This also presupposes that corzleone beats Doug which will not be as easy as many think.
