Sorry...I don't buy that. My guess is the B-C Campaign doesn't want a controversial state-wide election in NJ that we wouldn't win anyway drawing out a bunch of DEM voters that might otherwise not show. I don't necessarily agree with that logic, but that's what I think is going on.
Option B is they're pulling a Bre'ar Rabbit job, hoping their early non-challance on the whole issue allows them to work behind the scenes to really highlight this as another underhanded DEM stunt ala their last senatorial election in order to drive up voter frustration.
Option C: All of the above.
A&B presume that McGreevey's corruption will continue to come out between now and election day, thus enraging voters further. Kerry may yet pay for McGreevey's sins.
Those commentators, such as that liberal jerk from USA Today, who assure us that the McGreevey scandal will have no negative impact for Kerry, are not only lying, they are whistling past the graveyard.
State GOP must demand a special election and make it stick. if we elect a GOP governor in NJ, it creates more trouble for Corzine in 2006 and Lautenberg could drop dead any day.
