This reminds me of Herman Talmadge's (GA senator) problems. He got caught red handed taking bribes. The senate reprimanded him. The papers and pols still twisted like pretzels to find a reason to endose him. He was ahead in the polls on election day. He lost.

GA at that time (and still is in many areas) was a one party state. Democrats had won every statewide election (governor, secretary of state, senator, etc...) since the Civil War. Many people voted Republican for the first time in their lives because Talmadge's stench was too strong.

I think you'll see the same thing in NJ. There will be a lot of ABT (anybody but Torrecelli) votes cast. This probably won't show up in the polling because it will be people that, when they get in the voting booth, will decide at the last minute they just can't stand the Torrecelli stench and vote for whoever is running against him.

I hope you're right. If the polls are still showing a dead heat come Election Day, I think the Torch gets snuffed. [politically speaking, of course]

This reminds me of Herman Talmadge's (GA senator) problems...

Then what happened, after he was "un-elected"? Did he by any chance go on and get into some other trouble, end up in jail, and thus lose his lifetime pension?

Still hoping the "Torch" will get some real justice, LoL...but losing re-election would be a great start, and what's a few more hundred-thousand bucks, all things considered?!
