Why wait until 2005? He should just throw his hat into the senate race. NJ doesn't have anyone even remotely close to a real republican with name recognition to run against Torricelli anyway.

It's too close to the gubernatorial loss, and Torricelli will get help from the same establishment that stabbed Schundler in the back.

Schundler's first got to take over the GOP there, and ensure that backstabbing NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. He also needs to build up his base as much as possible. I also think he is going to pass on how he sold minorities on him as mayor of Jersey City, and that might be of use with some of the trouble we are seeing in the Dem coalition.

When Schundler makes his move, he'll settle all the scores from `01. And he has to. One loss with backstabbing is understandable. But if he loses again to significant backstabbing, then he is going to be toast for good.
