What a brilliant and entirely self serving move. He avoids having to run in an election with booker on the ballot. He avoids having to be associated with a long term interim pick. He avoids having to go through the negative press the NJ Dems would have kicked up during a court battle over the conflicting legal statutes. And he gets to to sell the whole scheme as a matter of choice for the people of NJ, while asking the people of NJ to pick up the multi-million dollar tab. Brilliant.
