What would the Torch do if he won?

I just heard Clarence Page say it wouldn't look good for the GOP to win the race in N.J. via a Judicial ruling.

That got me to thinking. What if the GOP wins their court case and the Torch has to stay on the ballot? He said he's not running again but if he is on the ballot he's on the ballot.

If he were to win (no way it happens but just as a question to those lefty losers) and they've spent weeks saying he's not running, let us run someone else because it won't be fair to not have a Democrat on the ticket (stupid argument because the NJ election laws don't state a Democrat has to run for any office for an election to be held), we can't let Forrester run without a DemonRat opponent blah blah blah.

What would the Torch do if after all that he won the election?

Would he not accept the job? HA! Fat chance. He'd go right back to his office and start writing gun control laws again.

This pap about he's not running is just that. His name is on the ballot and if he wins he'll take the job. If he loses they'll whine he wasn't even running and we didn't win because we didn't get to send our pinch hitter in for him in the 9th inning.

Ah, the Dem fallback position ... Forrester was going to clean Torch's clock, so this claim of winning "through a court ruling" now denies him 'the win' ... either for real or the "moral victory"

I guess he can quit the senate all together and then the Jersey Gov (D) will appointed another demoass to fill out his term. That person then can run as an incombant.

That person then can run as an incombant.

I don't think so. The deadline for changing the candidate has passed.

If the election is "unfair" because there will be no Rat candidate for Senator, then I take it that there are no "uncontested races" - the Rats have a candidate for every office/every district on the ballot?

Didn't think so.
