Codey said his "wife negotiated with the governor when I pulled out of the race in '05. She said if he's getting out, can I still use the beach house for a week or two? My wife had enough street smarts." Codey, however, said he did not accompany his wife because a) he had work to do, b) he's an Irishman prone to sunburn and c) he hates when the wind blows the wrong way and the green flies attack.

The Downashore Team is a group of Philly.com producers. Some of us grew up vacationing at the Jersey Shore, and others came to appreciate it later. Either way, we know our Mack and Manco's from our Prep's Pizza, and we'll do our best to share news, information and musings from up and down the coast. Please do post a comment with your Shore thoughts, or shoot us an e-mail by clicking on the link above. (OK, so we're not really at the beach in this photo, but armed with the power of a good photo editing program, we can dream, right?) We're joined by Inquirer staff writer Amy Rosenberg, who as a year-round Shore resident, knows a thing or two about the scene, and the Shoobies.

It's a good thing these are all Democrats we are talking about.
If it was discovered that a Republican governor had bribed his opponent/opponent's wife to drop out of the race, we would have the Attorney General, the legislature, the FBI and the IRS all looking into it, in addition to the Democrat Inquirer and Democrat NY Times.
