McGreevey Aide Accused of Dirty Tricks
New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's "top fund-raiser -- and a chief architect of his rise to power -- was accused yesterday of hiring prostitutes in an attempt to blackmail witnesses cooperating with a grand-jury investigation into his political fund-raising activities," the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
"Frustrated by the middlemen's failure to find a call girl," Charles Kushner "found one on his own, prosecutors said. He allegedly drove to New York, hired a prostitute he knew, and arranged to have her videotaped having sex with one government witness."

In New Jersey, Democrats Consider Dumping McGreevey
"As prosecutors tighten their investigative grip around close allies of" New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey (D), "Democrats are reviving talks about replacing McGreevey as their candidate next year," the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Their preferred candidate: Sen. Jon Corzine.
However, party officials "say it would take a coalition of key leaders from New Jersey's largest Democratic strongholds to draft a potential replacement for McGreevey. In effect, roughly the same group of power brokers who elevated McGreevey to the governorship could take him out."
