This has to speak for itself. From PolitickerNJ:
Randal Pinkett, who went to work for Donald Trump after winning Season 4 of The Apprentice, is receiving serious consideration to become the Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor, according to Democrats connected to Gov. Jon Corzine. Corzine has been actively searching for an African American running mate.
Pinkett, a 38-year-old Rhodes Scholar who runs a Newark-based management, technology and policy consulting firm, joins State Senators Barbara Buono (D-Metuchen) and Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) as the leading contenders to run with Corzine in November. The Franklin Township resident is a graduate of Rutgers University and received a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He worked for General Electric, AT&T Bell Laboratories and Lucent Technologies before launching his own company and working for Trump’s Atlantic City casino.
UPDATE 1: From the Ashbury Park Press:
An announcement that Corzine has selected Pinkett to run for lieutenant governor on the party ticket was expected to coincide with the visit of President Barack Obama to New Jersey Thursday, according to the source, who asked not to be identified.
UPDATE 2: GOP Christie leads Dem Corzine by 12 pts.
