NJ Gov. McGreevy is using the oldest trick in the book to save the Kerry election. Knowing that he was going to be exposed by his gay partner, he
decided to hold a press conference, confess his wrong doings before his wife, parents and the public, and state his desire to resign from office. This was all done to derail the real issue which is corruption at a very high level. No one cares that he's gay and no one would want his resignation for this but appointing an unqualified, non-American to a 1 million dollar job fighting terrorism to keep him quiet, is out right corruption and extremely
dangerous to the American people. The gay issue is a form of damage control by the Kerry campaign. It won't work!!!!

does this have? The only link here is that they both happen to be Democrats.

I agree with everything else you said, though. The issue is corruption, not gayness.

I haven't read a thing about this being related in any way to Kerry.

But I do think McGreevey is using his "gayness" to try and cover for the real problem here.....which is that his actions have now placed the state of NJ in a huge financial risk. The guy is suing for sexual harrassment. At a minimum the state will have to put out a bunch of money just to defend it. There's other corruption in his administation as well. And now, he's trying to make it sound like it was a personal matter and that he is being noble to come forward with the information. That's baloney. He needs to resign...."EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY" and let the voters have a special election. It's a Democrat state and I would imagine they'd get another Democrat governor, but this should be the voters choice; not his. IMO, he's lost his right to name a replacement.....through his own actions.
