Kidnapping politicians seems to be looking like the way to go ... at the moment. ;)
Who would pay for a used NJ pol?
The market would be limited to next of kin and paid coat holders.(Maybe)
It could go bad if you grabbed O. Henry's Red Chief or very bad with a Bette Midler type from Ruthless People .
Best to leave this type of work to the pros south of the border.
I am thinking "The Ransom of Red Chief" in that case.
