Bringing some REALITY to POLITICS

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Reality TV star Randal Pinkett says he'll consider running for lieutenant governor in New Jersey if -- and when -- an offer is made.
The season 4 "Apprentice" winner tells The Associated Press he's met with Gov. Jon Corzine, but the governor has not asked him to be his running mate.
Pinkett is an African-American businessman who co-chaired Newark Mayor Cory Booker's transition team.
Corzine reportedly backed off Pinkett after the choice received negative reaction from some Democrats and newspaper editorial pages.
Corzine must make his lieutenant governor selection by Monday.
Republican Chris Christie has picked Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno (gwah-DAHN'-oh) as his running mate.

A Public Official involved in a sex scandal...stop me if you've heard it before

The Ohio Governor is calling for Ohio state attorney to resign because of a sex scandal.

Attorney General Marc Dann says he plans to stay in office after details of an affair with a colleague surfaced.

A couple of months ago, Dann’s close aid was fired and his policy chief resigned for sexual harassment.

In a letter written by Governor Ted Strickland he wrote that Dann could no longer effectively hold his position—therefore must resign.
