Growing up in New Jersey has made me used to some very strange political happenings, but even that hasn’t prepared me for the prospect of this:
Jon Bon Jovi could be planning one day to run for governor of New Jersey. That’s why he’s keeping his house in Red Bank, even though he and his wife, Dorothea, and their four kids have moved to SoHo. That’s why he performs regularly at fund-raisers for Democrats like Al Gore and John Kerry. And that’s why he hired p.r. guru Ken Sunshine, who was once the chief of staff for ex-Mayor David Dinkins. “Jon has been approached many times about running for office,” said Sunshine, who denied the rocker has any political plans. “His day job is going too well, and this way he can keep the house.”
Absurd, I tell you, absurd.
But then, this is New Jersey — home of Jim McGreevey.
Hey, Hey, Hey…..maybe he’ll do NJ some good! He already has you know! Just think….he could write his own campaign song!
