Lautenberg claims victory in NJ!

[Maquisard]

I just heard on the radio that Lautenberg is claiming victory in the NJ race for the Senate.

Yip. The Pubs would control immediately.

Oops! wrong thread. LOL!

Welcome to the minority Frank!

No worries...the Laut will get bored in 6 months and step down. Then we will all point our fingers at NJ and its dim voters and laugh.

Next question, which RAT will take the helm from the Laut?

I hope Forrester chases this through the courts, just to give the 'rats a little of their own kind of crap.

Thank Heaven it's a good night overall, else I would be sick!

[lsee]

Wouldn't it be interesting if Forrester had a case based on the premise that the Democrats knew Laut was mentally incompetent before the election but failed to remove him from the process? What would happen if it was determined that the Dems had pulled a fraud on the voting public? Would there be a new election in that state? A governer appointment? I don't think he'll get bored in 6 months...I think his senility will become so obvious the Dems will go ahead and yank him, which may have been the plan all along.

There is certainly plenty of fodder here for investigations, charges of fraud, etc.

We ought to play this out with the Supremes, or it will become a standard play in the DOCE* book of rotten tricks.

There may be a silver lining to this cloud. Lautenberg quit because he didn't enjoy being in the minority party. Congradulations, Frank. You've gone back to being a minority Senator. He will get bored. He will quit. McGreevey will put someone else in. But the New Jersey voters just might remember the Kool Aid that they drank for Frank and they might not be so quick to vote for the Democrat next time.

Also, there is a Republican Governor in New Jersey, so if the elderly Lautenberg doesn't finish his term it will probably go to a Republican. The same thing could have been said about Mondale, but Minnesota had enough sense to not vote for the 74 year old.

I hope this will be challegend even if winning is slim. If you let a bully get away with something, he will only escalate. The crooked Demo. have to learn that they can pull anything and get away with it. Getting away with this will onlymake them believe Repub. are too timid and would encourage future scams.

[kickstart]

Does this mean voters are smarter in Minnesota than in New Jersey???

[jmc813]

Our governor is unfortunately the very Democrat Jim McSkeevy.

Did anyone catch Frank's smarmy victory speech? I swear he paused for boos after mentioning Forrester's name. And then he belittled the man! Classless to the end.
