: State Dems splintering over McG

: TRENTON -- There is an unholy, and totally uncivil, war being waged within the Democratic Party as factions spar over power and prestige. 

: . . .

: All the same, a McGreevey administration official was believed yesterday to have ratted out U.S. Rep. Bob Menendez, concerning a tryst the congressman allegedly had with a woman.

: "Menendez has no room to talk. Serves him right after being on his high horse," another Democrat lawmaker said yesterday.

: . . .

: Menendez is leading the Hudson County Democrats’ effort to oust McGreevey immediately and force a November special election. 

: State House insiders say Menendez would expect to slide into U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine’s seat by forcing a special election, presumably with Corzine running for governor. Corzine is the odds-on favorite as the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in a special election this year or the regularly scheduled election next year.

: Menendez has played a calculated game to see Corzine move into the governor’s office so he can move into the Senate.

: Senate Democratic leader Bernie Kenny, D-Hoboken, led his own charge to oust McGreevey early to help assembly speaker Albio Sires slip into the congressional seat held by Menendez.

: Menendez is said to be locked in a bitter power struggle with McGreevey chief of staff Jamie Foxx, and Kenny is said to have made a long list of enemies along the way too.

: Middlesex County kingmaker John Lynch, Camden County party boss George Norcross and Menendez have been the most vocal McGreevey opponents.

: The salvo aimed at Menendez was the latest in an uncivil war among Democrats, in which "outing" has become the main weapon in a game of political bloodbath.
