His Senate colleagues, their feelings injured, may wonder, ``Was it something we said?'' New Jersey should wonder whether some future Corzine whim might make him flee from Trenton, the pleasures of which might pall on someone of his restless ambitiousness.

Still, some people suspect that Corzine wants the governorship because he has his eye on another property 16 blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Senate with which he has become disenchanted. Many more presidents have come from governorships than from Senate seats, and New Jersey's governor gets attention in the largest media markets in two contiguous blue states -- Philadelphia and New York City.

Jon Corzine can't possibly have any serious presidential ambitions. His biggest problem is that he looks like a candidate from the '90s -- the 1890s, that is.
