Communists recognize no rules or laws unless such instruments preserve their power.

Props for Forrester who sounds like he just might be spurred on to become a search and destroy Republican.

This is the political equivalent of "calling a do over"

If this fictional replacement for Torricelli doesn't excite the voters either, will the Democrats go the bullpen yet again?

If the dems had a god damn brain in there head, they would just back the green party guy (who ever the hell that is) and push them with ads and such. Thank God that the dems are devious power hungry idiots. They'll probably try and go to court to do something, and lose there. My personal belief is that they wanted him to drop out for 3 reasons. 1)He's going to lose, maybe they can replace him or try and usurp the law in an attempt to do so, 2)He is costing them alot of money in a pathetic attempt to keep office, as long as he runs, they were going to give money which they can use elsewhere, 3)He is bad press, every time news reports talk about senate races, he is the first name mentioned and the first story which sets a nasty following for all the other rat canidates.

Multiple Mulligans went out with Slick Willie two years ago. Now days we adhere to the rules.

Forrester was just on "Hannity and Commie". His interview was more interesting than the Torch's "it's all you peoples' fault, not mine" opus. Reruns at 2:00AM ET.

Other possible replacements, Reps. Menendez, Rob Andrews and Frank Pallone, are members of the House, and relatively little known outside their own districts.

And these replacements would create a "snowball" problem as they, in turn, would need to be replaced by someone else on the ballot. The Republicans tried this bait-and-switch nonsense against Schundler. It must be stopped before it gets even more out of hand.

Once again the Dems are trying to cheat the voters. But after you try to steal the US Presidency, what's the big deal about trying to steal a Senate seat?
