My take is this...swing voters were running from Torricelli and they're hoping to bring them back by running someone else.
But the same people who are disgusted by the Torch's ethics, are the same people who won't care for this tactic either, AS LONG AS we slam it as the weasel move that it is.
New Jersy -- Call radio shows, and write to editors. Get the word out - BEFORE anything happens. Refer to it as a "what if."
If the D-RATs try this kind of slimy tactic, this has the potential to slime them in centrist voters' minds all over the country, not just in NJ. The Pubbies just have to play it up.
