(1010 WINS) TRENTON, N.J. U-S Senator Jon Corzine leads a potential field of candidates for New Jersey governor in a poll released today.

Corzine would beat acting Governor Codey 60 to 20 percent among registered voters surveyed by Quinnipiac University.

Corzine clobbers possible G-O-P opponents by a nearly two-to-one margin. They include Bret Schundler, Diane Allen and Doug Forrester.

Codey also runs well against Republicans and has six months in office to improve his name recognition against Corzine.

1. whatever helps them keep senate and governor Democratic

is what they should do . just like in new york where schumer agreed to stay in the senate allowing spitzer to be the nominee for governor without a primary competition.

4. but he's one of the best in the Senate
