Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I think that there may be a trap here. Since they were headed for a loss anyway, maybe the Toricelli campaign decided to try the "noble hero falls on his sword" trick, hoping the Republicans would "force" them to leave Toricelli on the ballot after he clears his name by "taking one for the team". Party line voters who were ready to jump because of his corruption would be the targets - and the ones most likely to vote for him just to "f with those nasty Republicans".

Well, any time is a good time to put your foot on the neck of a 'Rat. The Republicans cannot let down just because there is a little confusion. If the Torch gets even one vote, it's one too many.

Not to mention that there are other races down the ballot. Without the interest of a contested Senatorial election, the NJ Republican Party will have to redouble it's get-out-the-vote effort in order to have a chance in the other Congressional and local races. Now is not a time to slow down.

And once you have your foot on the neck of a 'Rat, you never let him up again to bited you.

You mean the Governor of Kentucky, Paul Patton (D).

The governor of Tennessee claims to be a Republican, Don Taxquist.

The Democratic party didn't remove any choice. The voters of New Jersey still have a choice between two viable living candidates: Torricelli and Forester. This argument isn't about whether or not the voters will have a choice but whether or not the Democratic party can change the choice available to the voters.

That is the only issue.

"The Democratic candidate owns 96% of the black votes, 81% of the Jewish votes, 69% of the Hispanic votes, 100% of the illegal alien votes (oops!).

150% of the dead vote.

Precisely my point. There is a choice, the voters have been involved in making that choice, but the Rats are contending a new name must be allowed inside the 51 days to give the voters a choice.

It boggles the mind.

Regards!

I'm gonna try and be optimistic on this one. I think the Rats get shot down in court, no changes to the Ballot (or no new name). Torch says "I tried, but I have to run". He gets beat anyway.

Now is the time to point at democrats and laugh.

If someone does something realy stupid, calmly say its okay it was a democratic party moment.

If someone tells you the are a member of the democratic party, look at them with compassion and gently say, "I am sooo sorry for you."
