If Corzine is able to beat Forrester for governor, national Democratic leaders favor acting governor Richard Codey to get his seat:

"The deal is simple: Democratic leaders want Codey to take the interim appointment and then run for a full term in 2006. If he's not interested in running next year, they're not interested in him."

I was hoping for either Codey or Rush Holt to get Corzine's Senate seat. Codey would probably have the best chance of beating Tom Kean, Jr.  Rob Andrews is too conservative and Bob Menendez doesn't have a very good reputation.

I think the key here is "national Democratic leaders".

Yes, absolutely.  Codey deserved to be governor, but then Corzine stepped in. 

Add to this the fact that Codey would be unstoppable.  He currently has approval ratings in the 70's. He's an experienced legislator with a good record.  Why not?

For some reason Codey wants to stay in Trenton.  Why?  Beats the hell out of me.

I wouldn't mind Holt, Codey or Andrews as Seantors.  Codey or Andrews would have the best shots at beating Kean, though.

I think Rush Holt would make the best Senator, but he would probably have a tough time beating Kean. He is an energy expert and used to be a rocket scientist at Princeton. He is also one of the leaders in Washington on electoral reform.
