Shea, again?
By Wally EdgeSome Democrats close to Governor Jon Corzine say that Bradley Abelow will be replaced as Chief of Staff by his predecessor, Tom Shea. Shea left the administration in August 2007, but has remained Corzine’s top political advisor. Sources say Corzine would like Shea, who ran Corzine’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2000 and spent five years as his Chief of Staff in Washington, to return through the 2009 election.

Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

the Revolving Door
what's he been doing the last 2 years? Has he been lobbying? That would be a bad sign.
How's he been making a living?
re: the Revolving Door
Lobbying? Ha!
Tom Shea would rather be mauled by congo than become a lobbyist.
tom
he's been working for the shadow government based in newark...
No way!
No way in hell that Shea would ever come back to government. And I'll put money that Moran and McGuire will be running the campaign next year, so they'll need someone else to hold down the fort.
How Much $ Has Corzine Given Shea Since He Left???
Any guesses what he's been paid?
Shea, Abelow - who really cares?
This is the most uninspiring, underachieving and overrated administration since Jim Florio.
Corzine is a one-termer...looking more and more like Bill Cahill than Jim Florio.
Vote Column - All the way!
Gary Rose was a failure
Before he ever got started. He sounds like an arrogant son of a gun who had no real plan, had no real goals and just ran out of steam dealing withthe likes of Codey who is one smark duckie. Corzine needs a business man or woman who's actually run something well knows the economy and how it works, and can get their hands around the myriad of regs that stop business from doing business in NJ.
