OMG. Invoking his dad's Marine Corps service. People of New Jersey, this is the only thing I ever wanted to do.
I honestly think he is being forced out. My prediction: he will either spill the beans or put a bullet in his head.

Looks like I missed the whole thing. I sincerely hope it was sappy, drawn out, incoherent, and other such things. For the good of the DEM party, of course!

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.
