	Parkway Rest Stop: Jon Corzine - King of the Jersey Political Swamp.
		Richard Codey, New Jersey’s Acting Governor (having replaced Governor Jim McGreevey following his “resignation” and long-delayed actual departure) has announced that he will not seek election in November for a full term as Governor.
		Governor Codey conceded that there is no way that he could raise enough money between now and the June democrat primary to defeat New Jersey’s Do-Nothing U.S. Senator Jon Corzine, who has done nothing to advance his qualifications for the Governor's job other than to say he wants it.
		It is estimated that Codey would have to raise $10 million by June in order to be competitive in the primary and, even then, he would likely be outspent by four to one by Jon Corzine.

		In a recent interview, Codey said one of the most surprising things about being Governor was that his office allows him to fix things so fast: On a visit in the summer of 2005 to Greystone Hospital, housing over 600 patients, Codey found that there was no working air-conditioning on a 100-degree day.
		Codey's first official act as Governor was to establish the Governor's Task Force on Mental Health, to recommend improvements to the State's mental health system directly to the Governor.
		Codey's commitment to the mentally ill also comes partly from personal experience -- his wife suffered severe postpartum depression -- but he says that fighting for the rights of the mentally ill is not his personal crusade, it is everyone's issue.
