What about McBride?
By Wally Edge

If Michellene Davis becomes Governor Jon Corzine's next Chief of Staff, it won't bode well for Edward McBride, who has served as Corzine's Chief Counsel since Ken Zimmerman left earlier this year. A Davis appointment would mean that Corzine effectively passed over McBride for a promotion and picked someone who is several runs below the Counsel on the organization chart. Other Chief Counsels, like Stuart Rabner, Mike Torpey, Cary Edwards and Edward McGlynn, have been promoted up.

Quote of the Day

"I am not supporting him, because he is not supporting the BCRO," Yudin said. "I simply said to him, and I stand by this, if elected officials feel they cannot support the BCRO, I cannot guarantee my support. He is a sitting assemblyman for 25 years, he has taken the position that he cannot give to the BCRO and I find that wrong, and I have warned him that is a position of mine."........
"You can't get blood from a stone,'' Rooney said, adding, "For him to make these threats is not the sign of a good leader."
-Charles Stile, on BCRO Chairman Bob Yudin's request that Assemblyman John Rooney give a significant part of his $16,000 campaign account to support county-wide candidates

McBride?
COS is a political position. Does McBride have the political chops to do the job?
(I'm not saying that Davis does either, I'm just saying that McBride is no shoo-in pick).
Who is Ed McBride
neverheard of this fellow. maybe that's a good thing. I think Corzine should get after Pete Cammaranao to come aboard, keep your friends close...
