Corzine wasn't thrilled with his final decision, but he had finally made one and it was a relief to his whole team. The running mate would be Barbara Buono, a state senator from Central Jersey with a law degree and the chairmanship of the powerful budget committee on her resume. She was 5 years younger than Corzine, attractive (by NJ political standards, very attractive), and a capable debater and public speaker. She was a strong choice but not Corzine's first, and the governor, his staff, and even Buono herself all knew it. [Buono was ultimately not selected]
