Corzine Still Popular

Despite the car accident that nearly took his life, after not wearing his seatbelt and allowing his driver to go above the speed limit, New Jersey voters still like their Governor.

A Farleigh Dickenson poll shows Corzine with a 58% approval rating, higher than before his accident.

Corzine's popularity is dwarfed though by the guy who acted as governor during his recovery in April, State Senate President Richard Codey. The Democrat, who had three different terms as acting governor in the past few years has a 73% approval rating with only an 8% disapproval.

If this guy was in the Senate last year running instead of Menendez, Linda Stender might very well be in Congress right now. Gee, maybe Codey can make a VP shortlist...just a thought
