In January, Geraldo Rivera said he was thinking of running in 2014 for Sen. Frank Lautenbergs seat. Now, after the senator's passing, Gov. Chris Christie has the politically perilous task of naming a replacement.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) needs to pick a replacement for the Garden States Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who died Monday. As many pundits note, this is a task thats fraught with political peril for Governor Christie: Pick someone deemed too liberal by conservatives, and he damages his presidential chances. Pick someone deemed too conservative by Democrats, and he damages his standing in his own blue-tinged state. Whats a shrewd, popular governor to do?
Two words: Geraldo Rivera. Or as the mustachioed news crusader would probably say it himself, Geraldo! Rivera!

Christie is up for re-election, so he’ll weigh his options carefully.

He did not “punt” by calling a special election. This decision undeniably assists Democrats. It is what Democrats wanted.

I'm already figuring that pig Pork Porkie will tap a liberal.
It's New Jersey. It doesn't matter.
The morons will stick their "kick me" signs on their backs and elect a scumbag liberal the first chance they get, anyway.
"What difference does it make?!"
To: Venturer
Just replacing one dead POS with another lib POS would be the results. No tears for the laut.
