Cody Is Out Of Governor's Race

NJ.com and PolitickerNJ are both reporting that former governor Dick Cody has decided to not run for governor against Chris Christie this fall.

Cody's decision now leaves Sen. Barbara Buono as still, the only declared Democrat in the race to unseat Christie from his governor's chair.

Cody said:

“After talking with my family, friends and other advisors and weighing the impact of a campaign on my family life, I have decided not to seek the nomination. I want to thank my friends and supporters throughout the state who encouraged me to run and provided counsel during this process.

I will enthusiastically back whomever the nominee is and do all that I can in support. As a senator and governor. I have been a voice for many voiceless New Jerseyans. I will continue to serve in Trenton and seek re-election."

Who if anyone will now step forward and declare their candidacy? Senate President Stephen Sweeney, Congressman Bill Pascrell, someone else or no one at all?

New Corzine Video: The Enemy of the Economic Downturn

The Corzine campaign released a new video this morning featuring leaders from across New Jersey like Cory Booker,Rush Holt,Ray Lesniak, Teresa Ruiz and Dick Codey among others, that highlight Governor Jon Corzine's leadership on the economy and job creation.

This video marks the begining of a new focus for the campaign, highlighting the positives achievements of Jon Corzine and the direction in which he is steering the State, as opposed to some of the negative attacks, that have been working but which have been taking away from the positve image and light that Jon Corzine wants to project for himself.

This video is a great first step in that direction and well worth watching.
