Torricelli News Conference 5 pm EST LIVE THREAD

[Recovering_Democrat]

Multimillionaire John Corzine now speaking.

[Neenah]

It's crying time again....

I'm gonna leave youuuuuuu"

[Political Junkie Too]

This is the only thing the media will talk about for a few days -- how the Democrats are gaming the election in NJ. It will even push Iraq onto the back-burner for a few days. Then Daschle will want his kitchen table issues discussed once the Torricelli debacle dies down, but Bush will try to put Iraq back onto the national spotlight. Depending on how the Republicans fight back over Torricelli, the Dems could be made to appear as power-mongering obstructionists who take the word of a murdering dictator over a sitting president.

People will have to be very careful how they play out the end-game on this.

[Libertina]

DemocRATS can't do ANYTHING anymore withOUT a Court battle. I'm sick of elections being court battles. I loathe democrats...

[joyce11111]

Sounds by his speech that he was always a great patriot.

A man of good and honorable works.

And, just think of all the women's lives he has saved!

Not once did I hear that he was sorry for being a dirty crook.

BTW - PLEASE no LOSTENBERG, I mean Lautenberg.

[Howlin]

I'm glad you're here. Do you want me to put you on the Live Thread Ping List?

[Stingray51]

Hey Torch, put some ice on it.

[PhiKapMom]

I heard that and there has also been a legal opinion rendered to the folks in D.C. Just like the Florida election where SCOTUS ruled -- this will happen there! No Governor is going to cancel a national election -- never, ever!

But have the RATs handed us a campaign issue on a silver platter! Win at any costs! Forget the law, forget the rules! Party of the corrupt clintons has reared its ugly head again. Torch did the DemocRAT response to Pres Bush on Saturday and don't let one person you know forget that!

[finnman69]

Geez,
All that and nowhere did he say

I'M SORRY!

[Catspaw]

Given his hanky-wringing opus, can anyone actually figure out what he's going to do? Have his name taken off the ballot & someone else's name put on?

[Political Junkie Too]

Apparently not THIS week.

"Try to shoehorn" is correct. Even this, though short of resignation, is a violation of the law, as I understand it.

[dfwgator]

Clinton told Torch, "either your brains or your signature goes on this paper."

[copycat]

Hillary absoultely WILL NOT ACCEPT being in the minority.

[Robert_Paulson2]

"If they're losing, just line up another candidate and see if he does better. Meanwhile, the honorable Republican has spent his time campaigning against one candidate, only to be faced with another."

sounds to me like a violation of the "equal justice" and "basic fairness" principles of the federal constitution.

The dems are planning to go to the supreme court and lose... and use it to claim WE stole the election AGAIN, "just like the last election..."

[dittomom]

Well, it should be embarrassing to the whole Demoncrat Party, but hell, it sounds like all the PTB in the FNC sanctioned this sanctimonious garbage he just spewed. GEESH!

[Dianna]

But it sounds like the only way they could get another candidate is IF he resigns!

Why did he do this?
