I have been posting for a while, that Lautenberg was not well, Menedez still has a 15 yr old Domenican Hooker Problem, and I put 2 and 2 together and saw why Obama is having a love-fest with Christie.
It will be a miracle that he doesn't appoint a Democrat.
Don't Forget, the special election Massachuetts on 6/25, and if the RINO wins and Christie doesn't appoint a Rat, Obama looses 2 Senate friendly seats, and if the Menedez Scandal gets legs he could loose 3, he can't have that, on the Cusp of immigration reform vote(s)...
Christie will appoint a republican, but for the same reasons he embraces Obama it will be someone “moderate” on all social issues. And the new senator will vote that way in hopes of getting reelected.
