If Menendez can't win the Democrats will force him off the ballot and pull a Torricelli to keep the seat in their hands.

If he isnt on the ballot, they cant put someone else on. Thats what they did to Tom Delay and the Republicans.

The Republicans have to run as a write-in...

What the Rep's allowed with Lautenberg/Torricelli shouldnt be allowed again...

I'm willing to bet they put up Codey at the last minute. Only in New Jersey! :(

The Dems didn't count on losing this seat. They probably will pull the same stunt they did with Toricelli to save the seat.

They might have to assassinate Menendez though. Wonder which one of the characters on the State Democratic Committee gets the honor?

Yes, they can and will. What's forbidden to Republicans is allowed to Democrats. New Jersey hasn't elected a GOP Senator since MASH was on the air.

Wait a minute. Don't count Menendez out until you find out how many illegals with Spanish surnames are registered to vote in NJ.

"Where does this power come from ,. GAH HH1!!!!"

It comes from kissing George Norcross in all the right places. I swear he must have pictures of EVERY one of this state's politicians in some sort of compromising position. He owns EVERY one of them!!!

That's exactly what I told my husband last night. Given Cody's popularity he would be a "shoe in" for the dims. What the uneducated electorate here in NJ fail to realize, is that Cody is part of what is very WRONG with NJ.

If Kean is still polling ahead of Menendez come the beginning of next month, I have no doubts that the Jersey 'Rats will pull another bait-and-switch. They'll browbeat Menendez into doing another Torricelli mea culpa, or otherwise throw him overboard. Get ready for Senator Codey. (But at least the 'Pubs aren't running Doug Forrester again. Even he doesn't want the "three-time loser" albatross.)

The Reps didn't allow it; the Supreme Kangaroo Court of the State of New Jersey did. (and they'll do it again for a democrat)
