National GOP Likely Behind Push To Get McGreevey Out of Office

According to Fox, the NJ Republicans are trying to push McGreevey out "immediately". I'm not so sure that this isn't actually a push from the National GOP. Here's why: if McGreevey goes sooner rather than later, then there will be a special election for Governor, THIS NOVEMBER.

The most recent poll of New Jersey I could find said the following:

"In Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind Poll released Wednesday [July 28th, prior to the Convention--Rob) 45 percent of registered voters favor Kerry for president while 43 percent said they would vote for Bush. Ten percent were undecided."

With a close race in NJ it would be beneficial to the GOP to have a Governor's race on the ballot as well. It would get their base out to vote in the Governor's election, maybe enough to tip the state.
