Torricelli News Conference 5 pm EST LIVE THREAD

[alisasny]

Opine away : )

[NeoCaveman]

The 7-11 video tape was found, and aired over the weekend. Sure enough, there was the Torch with some enforcers (aka waste company employees).

Could these have been Tony's boys????

"Perhaps it was last week's memo, coupled with a long delay for facts to penetrate his ego -- plus a long weekend's worth of negotiations."

Perhaps it was a few threats by Bill Clinton and his buddy McAuliff today.

Ahhhhh. New Jersey could make a reasonable case for extortion, no?

So that's the club to get rid of Torch: pull out or face charges.

Jane.......the guy on that tape was no ordinary union thug.....it was the HEAD of UNION who has workers in that WASTE COMPANY....

Jane I think maybe the mob didn't like one of their "players" on national TV.......and the Torch was pushed.

[Miss Marple]

LOL! You know, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Torch, as he is a regular blatant crook, as opposed to a weasel traitor crook. However, it is time for him to go, and I hope he is PO'd enough at the DNC that he takes some people down with him.

Gosh, I'm sorry I missed that :)

[RobFromGa]

Any way to move this thread (5PM specific) to TOP of breaking for the next hour???

[Miss Marple]

Oooh, it just gets better and better! I hope McAuliffe goes down in this fiasco as well. HA!

I hate the Torch, but I know what you mean. I can't help but like Traficant. Who seems to have taken noone down with him.

[Dog]

I second Rob's motion can we move this thread into Breaking News....

[NeoCaveman]

Thankyou for moving this to the top of Breaking News.

[LisaFab]

Sean Hannity just reading the above email regarding NJ election laws. As usual, posted on FR first.

[Howlin]

Well done.

[Dianna]

Well Traficant was supposed to be "mobbed up" wasn't he?

Fun to think that he could be pulling strings here!

[RobFromGa]

Thanks!

[GraniteStateConservative]

How did we get it?

[NeoCaveman]

What a wonderful thought.....

[swheats]

I know this could be wishful thinking but in light of all the speculations, could McGreevey be an honest broker and do the right thing in spite of the DNC?

Ok I know I'm talking bout a RAT but it could happen right?

[Robert A Cook PE]

But see what happens IF Toricelli RESIGNS ... rather than gets beat in a real election.

It would be a different case: He resigns (within 30 days of the election, but WITHOUT the election having actually taken place) so that a new appointee is pushed in (Bradley, for example) who then stays in office rather than face the actual election .....

That's what they'll try.

Now, what really happens I don't know....but this sets up the resignation next week.

What the democrats fear above all else is actually LETTING him face the election counts.

If they can do anything else, including sacrificing his race so they get he national news media "focusing" on the "stolen" NJ race, then the national news media have protected Dashole's lead by focusing on those "mean nasty conservative cruel election-stealing anti-environmental hate-mongering republicans" ....
