We have to sweat the next 36 days until election day.....at any time in those 36 days the TORCH could resign and McGreevey appoint another DEM to fill the seat ....then the election is pushed back til 2003...

And I think the RATS would risk the HEAT to save the Senate.

And prove that Democrats are so desperate for power that they cancelled/postponed an election?

That's exactly what is going to happen. But Torie in #1672 has it just right. The attempt is so blatently obvious that the courts would almost certainly rule that it was an attemp to manipulate the election by replacing a candidate who is behind in the polls with one likely to do better.
