Carl Cameron on now. It comes down to the law (yes Carl, we already know that). Torricelli 's one option is to resign, allowing McGreevey to appoint a replacement who could be put on the ballot, or allow someone else to be put on the ballot.

By what legal mechanism can they put anyone new on the ballot though? The deadline has passed. I'll bet that's what they are scurrying around to figure out. If they can't find something that flies, cancel the press conference?

Hey, I don't know the answer to your question, I just report! LOL!

Rats are in a pickle and are trying to pull something off 100% in the public eye. They don't even have the cover of precinct workers or Jeffords' "consciencs." This is a flat-out a grab to keep the seat. HA!

Sounds like they'll do it via the legal relativism practiced by the NJ Supreme Court. The same ones who "screwed" the boy scouts. FL Supreme Court worshipers.

If the Torch resigns now, McGreevey appoints a replacement who, by virtue of his "incumbancy" is then automatically on the ballot. Pubs are ready to challenge this in court tomorrow apparently.
