In my column, NJ - WHERE THERE'S SMOKE... , I indicated that where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. And in my previous column, I alluded to all the New Jersey political scandals over the last few years, including the Torricelli resignation. It seems the same political players in the New Jersey Democratic Party keep connecting with the same tar baby.

In their August 16th article in the Newark Star-Ledger reporters David Kinney and Josh Margolin offer that “Democrats urge McGreevey to leave,” the title of their article. They write, “With U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine signaling he will answer his party's call to run for governor in a special election this year, key Democratic leaders are intensifying their efforts to persuade Gov. James E. McGreevey to quit immediately and clear the way for the senator's candidacy.”
Writing conservative opinion for the Star- Ledger, Paul Mulshine in his August 15th piece entitled, “The GOP should resign itself to the facts,” is convinced that New Jersey Republicans will blow their lead on the McGreevey scandal.

Mulshine writes, “The Democrats are in chaos. The governor is resigning amid a sex scandal that gets more sordid by the day. Meanwhile, they're running the state on borrowed money and also raising taxes at a rate that leads the nation. That brings me to the question that all thoughtful political observers in New Jersey are asking themselves: How will the Republicans screw this up? They’ll find a way, that’s for sure. On Friday, for example, the GOP leadership held a news conference to demand that James E. McGreevey step down immediately so we can have a special election in November to choose a governor for the remaining year of his term. But how would that benefit the GOP?”

Mulshine goes on to point out that the Democrats would unite behind US Senator Jon Corzine, who made an exceptionally strong showing at the Democratic Party Convention a few weeks back. Mulshine realizes that New Jersey belongs to the Democratic Party, and Corzine would ride John Kerry’s coattails in this state even if Kerry were to lose the national election against Bush. He offers that Republicans will self-destruct through in-fighting to pick a candidate. The most likely candidate would be Bret Schundler who ran against McGreevey and lost because left-liberal Republicans, basically liberal “RINOs,” deliberately shunned him. [I’m sorry!]

Mulshine points out that liberal former Governor Christie Todd Whitman, confirmed as such when her handpicked Chief Justice made possible the Lautenberg destruction of Republican Doug Forrester, compromised the unity of the GOP. But on a national level, Democrat John Kerry is doing to Democrats what “upstart” Bret Schundler, a conservative, would do to the New Jersey GOP.

The New Jersey Democrats were heavily split in terms of the northern Democrats versus their southern state faction, but they would clearly be united with a strong national Democrat with absolutely no baggage. Republicans are bitterly split because of the Whitman-Schundler split. For this reason, it appears that the only viable Republican candidate for New Jersey governor would be federal prosecutor Chris Christie, the force behind the legal assault on the corrupt McGreevey bunch.

The arrest last month of real estate billionaire, Charles Kushner, McGreevey’s number one fundraiser, for obstructing a federal investigation involving prostitution, is the behind-the-scenes scandal driving all the others. Kushner’s wealth, alleged crooked election funding manipulations, and alleged income tax violations, are establishing Christie as a rising star within the Republican Party as he pursues Democratic evildoers. And if Republicans cannot iron out the choice of either Christie, Schundler or perhaps even Forrester, that will indeed negate both the New Jersey GOP political advantage for the state internally, and will also be a factor in the national election.

John Kerry is a liability for true Democrats. His career preparing for the presidency parallels that of Bill Clinton and Al Gore’s father’s dreams. He comes across as a stiff, a liar and a complete, desperate phony. And the only thing Bush has got going for himself is his incumbency.

Republicans would fare much better with Christie, especially now that the McGreevey, Cipel, Kushner and Torricelli connections have been exposed. Torricelli represented Touro College, where Kushner is a board member, and where Cipel worked as well doing “public relations.”

The dots are starting to connect, and this is obviously the tip of the iceberg of a very nasty scandal about to be exposed. Although Cipel and his lawyers are within their legal right to ask for money abstaining from legal action, additionally offering to do so in exchange for expediting a state license for Touro College puts a criminal slant on the matter from the perspective of this non-legally trained observer.
