Easy. Two weeks before the election, have Rudy Giuliani move to Hoboken (using the “Clinton Carpetbag”), and put him on the ballot (citing the “Torricelli Two-Step”).
Profit.
Though I think it’s highly unlikely Rudy wants to be a Senator anymore.
Seven weeks before the election, U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D- N.J.) holds a comfortable lead over former GOP congressman Dick Zimmer, according to two polls re leased yesterday. Lautenberg led Zimmer 48 percent to 39 percent in a poll by Quinnipiac University and 46 percent to 36 percent in the Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey poll.

And some key stuff from this same article:
The two polls were remarkably in sync in one respect: Lautenberg got identical ratings -- 43 percent "favorable" -- in both. Both polls found Zimmer is largely unknown. Among likely vot ers, two-thirds told Quinnipiac and 53 percent told Monmouth/ Gannett they knew too little about Zimmer to form an opinion of him.
Plenty of room there for the GOP to introduce Zimmer to the voters of NJ... before the Dems/media do it for them.
