To anyone still thinking NJ might be in play...

Any state is in play, even Idaho and California.

Any state is in play, even Idaho and California.

Bush will have to go +15 nationally to win NJ and CA.

Kerry would need to go +40 to win Idaho.

Like I said, it's still possible.  No one knows what will happen between now and Nov 2 which can impact significantly on the election.  It's still too early to rule out any state as a given.

Speaking of Jersey:

"NewsChannel 4: N.J. Governor McGreevey To Resign"

NEW YORK -- NewsChannel 4 has learned that New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey is planning on stepping down from office after more than 2 years of service.

McGreevey, a former prosecutor, came into office vowing to end corruption, but in recent months a number of his political aides and fundraisers have been accused of corruption ranging from alleged payoffs to hiring a prostitute.

McGreevey has not been accused of any wrongdoing, and has denied any wrongdoing in the past.

Should McGreevey indeed leave office, his successor under the state constitution would be Richard Codey, the current president of the state senate.
