So, you're thinking that Toricelli keeps his seat so the rats maintain a majority and then the rats mount a massive write in campaign for the rat of their choice?
Sorry if you're repeating yourself but this is a long thread and I'm out of the loop.
The Torch resigning or not is an irrelevancy. The Dems will lose their lawsuit to snuff his name off the ballot, and put in yours. Thus his name will remain on the ballot, and someone will wage a write in campaign. Bubba would be best for this job.
