A Reality TV Star For Corzine's Running Mate

Increasingly desperate over his dwindling re-election prospects, Jon Corzine is now looking for reality TV stars to be his Lieutenant Governor candidate.

Politickernj is reporting that Corzine is seriously considering Randal Pinkett, winner of The Apprentice season 4, as his running mate. I guess he'll do anything in an attempt prevent hearing "You're Fired!" again, like he heard at Goldman Sachs.

If Corzine is going to tap into the ranks of reality TV stars, he should really consider The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan.

Corzine has been a failure because he can't lead. He was elected because he was a so called financial genius who was going to make the tough choices to fix New Jersey's finances and terrible tax burden. He and his team of ex-Goldman Sachs executives (who have since left government service) came in like gang busters but the couldn't lead the Democratic legislature. Dick Codey and Joe Roberts are the pack leaders. Corzine failed because he couldn't establish himself as the pack leader.

Cesar knows how to lead the pack and how to train other to do so. He would be a much better choice for LG than Randal.
