Torricelli News Conference 5 pm EST LIVE THREAD

[alisasny]

Opine away : )

[eddie willers]

I would vote to reverse all three

And then they voted for Prohibition...
What were these people thinking?

Forrester on NOW

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Knowing he wrote his Will at the tender age of five was more information than I needed to know."

I found that part terribly disturbing as well. Seriously, at that point, I became thoroughly convinced that he has lost his mind.

[A CA Guy]

Beleaguered by his bad polling numbers IMO, so how can he chose to just drop out? The Senate itself did not throw him out.
How can anyone after the deadline say, "Gee, I'm losing abnd the Senate is gone for sure, so I want to quit to cheat the Republicans of my seat.

Slightly transparent.

[justshe]

Keep reporting.......and thank you!

[Political Junkie Too]

Let's also try calling it "quid-pro-quo." If you do something for me (like vote for a forfeited candidate), then I'll do something for you (like appoint another Democrat). One illegal act for another.

Got to wonder about the timing of all this, the Crook gives the Sat. radio, Tiny Tom in NJ working for him, Breaux defending him on Sun, and after all that, he quits today. Me thinks another shoe is going to drop.

[Wphile]

Okay...still going with the same. Maybe this will backlash and we can pick up Georgia and Iowa too.

[Mo1]

FORRESTOR gave a response .. saying the NOBODY is above the Law

[floriduh voter]

I wish we could tie Torricelli to McBride in Florida's governor's race. I know McBride has ties in Illinois, DC and in New Jersey and PA. They are cut from the same cloth - lying and dodging, trying to look clean as the driven snow. Maybe they know the same crime families?

[Howlin]

Remember in 2000? Remember how bad it was? Remember that we didn't know how BAD it could be?

This time we'd know. We'd have to have IV drugs this time to live.

[MJY1288]

FORRESTER JUST SAID "NOBODY CAN REWRITE THE LAW"

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Why didn't we get to hear Forrester's speech on FoxNews? We get a full DNC free campaign ad from Torricelli and Forrester gets one 30-second sound bite to respond?!

[SauronOfMordor]

Forrester's attorney's are speaking. This is a federal matter, ballots have gone out-absentee ballots and military is voting on these ballots now.

That might do it. Any attempt to change the ballot now would take away the ability of overseas military from NJ to be able to vote in the NJ election. The Supremes would not let that stand

[Wphile]

The other shoe was probably the ties to Clinton and that's why he's dropping out. Clinton made him do it. That man is evil, I swear.

[mewzilla]

Scuttlebutt is that there's even worse stuff about torriceeli that was about to come out. In any case, he didn't jump. He was pushed. A last, desperate act by the Degenerates, er...Democrats. They're still gonna lose. And they're going to have a hard time finding someone in NJ dim enough to wanna be the next Al Gore.

[Inspectorette]

This time we'd know. We'd have to have IV drugs this time to live.

That does it! I'm gonna stop on my way home from work and pick up at 1.75 bottle of Black Velvet - to he** with working out tonight! ;-)

[mwl1]

The RATS are stooping to new lows, and are becoming increasingly desperate.

I worry that the courts are becoming so politicized that they really have a shot to pull off this resignation bait-and-switch stunt.

[cake_crumb]

"This is about taking the right away from Forrester being able to win an election fair and square.Exactly!"

Forrester's response was EXCELLENT though!

[aristeides]

Is it my imagination, or did he just out-Clinton Bill Clinton himself?

Who says Clinton didn't give him the script?
