	Jim McGreevey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McGreevey was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly from 1990 to 1992, when he became Mayor of Woodbridge Township, New Jersey.
		McGreevey's term was mired in controversy, from questions as to the credentials of several of his appointments to Pay to Play and extortion scandals involving many of his backers and key New Jersey Democratic fundraisers.
		The timing of McGreevey's announcement enabled him to be the first to present news of the upcoming lawsuit to the media, and the decision to delay the effective date of his resignation until after September 3, 2004, avoided a special election in November to replace the governor.

	CNN.com - New Jersey governor quits, comes out as gay - Aug 13, 2004
		With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey -- a father of two -- spoke in calm tones as he described his struggle with his sexuality, "a certain sense that separated me from others." It was something that he said began as a child.
		McGreevey's surprise resignation came as Golan Cipel, a former security aide to the governor, had readied a sexual harassment lawsuit against the governor, two Democratic sources told CNN.
		McGreevey and his wife, Dina, have a 2-year-old daughter, and he has another daughter from a previous marriage.

	Jim McGreevey - dKosopedia
		McGreevey's tenure was a benchmark of progressive politics.
		Finally, in August 2004, after learning of a claim being filed by former lover and appointee Golan Cipel, McGreevey shocked America by holding a press conference to announce that he was gay, he had had an extramarital affair with another man, and that he was resigning from office effective November 15, 2004.
		McGreevey is, at least until his resignation, the highest-ranking openly gay elected official in the United States.

	Jim McGreevey's Complex Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		McGreevey convinced himself that the only way to be elected governor was to present an attractive family portrait to the world of a wife and child.
		McGreevey's biggest mistake may have ultimately been not trusting the voters of this state enough and be true to who and what he really is when it comes to his sexuality.
		If Jim McGreevey were to do this, he would show how much he truly loves and cares for the state of New Jersey and those he has served over the years.

	THE JIM McGREEVEY MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST.
		Not only has McGreevey been, at his core, a miserable person for his entire adult life, but he had to drag his wife and daughters down with him.
		In early July, a McGreevey fund-raiser was charged with trying to extort $40,000 from a dairy farmer in exchange for good treatment from state officials.
		McGreevey's term was to expire in 2006, and it's unknown if he could survive another campaign even without being a closeted, gay adulterer who was likely involved with unethical fund-raising activities while being sued for sexual harassment.

		Former Republican Gov. Christie Whitman said McGreevey “made a courageous decision” but criticized his plan to wait until Nov. 15 to leave office, saying it “smacks of politics.” She said it “would be in the best interests of the state” for the governor to step aside immediately.
		McGreevey rose from mayor of suburban Woodbridge to state chief executive by his tenacious pursuit of party politics, winning the Statehouse in November 2001 by beating Republican Bret Schundler by 15 percentage points.

	Jim McGreevey's Promiscuity And The APA
		McGreevey's closeted homosexuality or bisexuality has been rumored for years in New Jersey politics yet was never vigorously pursued by the liberal mainstream media.
		Governor Jim McGreevey's sexual orientation disturbance and his homosexual adulterous relationship (if this actually occurred), is the logical result of three decades of homosexual propaganda and the willingness of the APA to be used for political purposes by sexual liberationists.
		It's important that McGreevey genuinely repent of his sins against his wife, but it's also time for the APA to reverse its ideological, politically-based decision of 1973 and realize that thousands of people have overcome their gender identity conflicts.

	Sabato's Crystal Ball - The McGreevey Matter
		McGreevey's corruption, deception, and sleaze are well illustrated in his outrageous decision to appoint his male lover, an Israeli citizen, to a critical, intelligence-sensitive, and extremely well-paid post in homeland security.
		Instead, McGreevey and his Democratic associates were trying to prevent a special election for Governor on the same day as the presidential election, which would have occurred had McGreevey stepped down by early September.
		McGreevey has instantaneously become a well recognized albatross for the Democratic Party and John Kerry, and thus a plus for George W. Bush--playing into the ballot initiatives on gay marriage in crucial swing states.

	Jim McGreevey; America's First Governor To Come Out of the Closet
		McGreevey exercised poor judgment in naming his lover to an important state security post, no crime was committed and the vetting process ensured by New Jersey's constitutional system in fact worked by eliminating Golan Cipel from consideration and preventing his confirmation for lack of credentials.
		But the reality of the situation in New Jersey is that Jim McGreevey would not have been elected governor, indeed, may not have secured the Democratic Party's nomination to run for governor, were he an out gay man. That is the tragedy of a person being held hostage over their own sexuality.
		While we try to sort out the details of why Jim McGreevey has resigned as Governor of New Jersey, we ought to be mindful of the human story behind his announcement and actions that transcends the merely political and legal aspects that, no doubt, will be the obsessive focus of media attention.

	JIM MCGREEVEY'S NON-CONFESSION - New York Post Online Edition: Postopinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Jim McGreevey is not the first politician to be caught up in a sex scandal.
		What made McGreevey's confessional so memorable is that it was likely the first time a politician admitted to an affair to draw attention away from the far broader corruption that permeated his administration.
		But the ultimate reason McGreevey was driven from office is simple: He appointed a person with whom he was having a sexual relationship - Israeli-born Golan Cipel - to a highly sensitive office for which he was manifestly unqualified.

		McGREEVEY: Well, my commitment is to continue to work and not to raise the sales tax and not to raise the income tax and continue to cut government, and obviously we're looking for the federal government to work with us.
		McGREEVEY: We understand transportation is incredibly important, and we're fully funded through July 1st of 2005, and right now we're working on a package, on an initiative, working with the federal government to look long term to make sure that we have the funding source well into 2006, potentially even 2007.

		It is a Thursday in Newark, and Jim McGreevey is practicing the brand of tribal politics that has made the glad-handing, unassuming mayor of Woodbridge the titular head of the Democratic Party and the front-runner to be New Jersey's next elected governor.
		McGreevey often sounds scripted in debates and public forums, sticking closely to the sound bites he and his consultants have chosen.
		For McGreevey, all politics is personal, intensely personal, and so are the promises he makes to the multi-ethnic flock he hopes to lead.
