Most all Atlantic City patrons can gamble at a nearby Indian or Canuck casino instead - and most all the rest flying to Atlantic City can just as cheaply fly to the Real Vegas and keep their dollars in Red Nation's economy instead.

And it will work, & Linda Chavez, much as I respect her, is wrong this time.
Former Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, currently deceased, has indicated that he has no intention of having his remains moved to New Jersey for purposes of succeeding Toricelli, according to various paranormal mediums and ouiji boards.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming ...
also on a separate note - girl friend told me an interesting tidbit of info yesterday that she had been informed from another friend that the gay media is behind the intense Islamic bashing that has been on going on TV and in the newspapers...
she added that the Saudi's are aware and that they have discussed this with G2...
evidently, the gays seeing an opportunity to bash a religion that has zero tolerance for gays decided to lambaste Islam in an effort to turn public opinion against the religion...
HMMMM...
For example, could they order that the election be pushed back a month to allow new ballots to be printed? I could imagine them saying something to the effect that everything just needs to be done by the time the next congress begins so there will be no harm / no foul.
Heres to hoping I'm wrong (again)
Wednesday, 2 October, 2002, 04:48 GMT 05:48 UK US court accepts Senate case
The New Jersey State Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments from Democrat politicians who want to replace their candidate for the US Senate.
Scandal-hit Senator Robert Torricelli abruptly pulled out of the November election on Monday - after the deadline for candidates to submit their names for the ballot paper.
Mr Torricelli missed the deadline for changing candidates
His Republican opponents argue that he may not be replaced, saying ballot papers have been printed and distributed and some postal votes have already been received.
But the Democrats - who hold a one-seat majority in the US Senate - are keen to offer voters a replacement for Mr Torricelli.
The court issued an order saying it would hear the case directly instead of waiting for a lower court to act, accepting a Democratic submission which stressed the urgency of the matter.
The high court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
New candidate named
The Democrats picked a former Senator, Frank Lautenberg, to replace Mr Torricelli, who ended his campaign in an emotional speech.
Correspondents say Democrats were concerned for Mr Torricelli's re-election chances after allegations from businessman David Chang who said he gave the senator gifts in return for his intervention in business deals in North and South Korea.
The people of New Jersey have had enough of playing politics with the fundamental tenets of democracy.
Mr Torricelli - who was elected in 1996 - has denied any illegality but was admonished over the summer by the Senate ethics committee.
Mr Lautenberg, who feuded openly with Mr Torricelli who was his Senate colleague until he retired at the elections two years ago, said he was hoping to get his name on the ballot paper.
"I look forward to this campaign, in some ways rather perversely, it will be the shortest campaign I've ever been engaged in, but I sort of like the prospects," he said.
'Potential for chaos'
The Republican candidate for the Senate, Doug Forrester, said: "In 36 days, decency, fairness and the rule of the law will trump this desperate attempt to retain power.
"The people of New Jersey have had enough of playing politics with the fundamental tenets of democracy."
It's all about ensuring that the voters of this state have the opportunity to exercise a choice in a competitive race .
Democrat campaign lawyer Angelo Genova His campaign's lawyer, Bill Baroni, said the case created "a potential for chaos".
"Ballots have been printed in many counties," he said.
"Absentee ballots have been sent, and even more troubling, federal oversees military ballots have been mailed. Votes have been received."
Printing of ballots has now been halted with some analysts saying the case could end up before the US Supreme Court in circumstances reminiscent of the controversial 2000 presidential election in Florida.
'Technicality'
A lawyer for the Democratic Party in New Jersey, Angelo Genova, said the deadline for candidates pulling out was merely a technicality, adding that there was a 1952 precedent for changing names, allowed when a candidate died.
"It's all about ensuring that the voters of this state have the opportunity to exercise a choice in a competitive race," he said.
"The two-party system that affords people such a choice should not be compromised by any legal niceties or other administrative technicalities in our law."
The Democrats currently hold 50 Senate seats, with Republicans controlling 49 Senate seats and Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont, formerly a Republican, declared as an independent.
