Exit Polls Show Democrat Corzine Is Decisive Winner In NJ Governors' Race...Wants To Appoint Codey To Fill His Senate Seat...

Exit polls for the New Jersey governors' race show democratic Senator Jon Corzine is the decisive winner over Republican businessman Doug Forrester.

The Huffington Post has learned that Senator Corzine wants to appoint acting New Jersey Governor Richard Codey to fill his Senate seat.

Corzine must resign from the Senate in January to assume his position as governor. His Senate term, however, does not end until 2007. State law gives the governor the power to appoint a replacement for the seat. Gov. Richard Codey has been acting governor since Jim McGreevey's resignation took effect on November 15, 2004.
