Last night Colmes made a statement that the Republicans had done the same thing in a recent election -- that is, realize that their candidate wasn't going to win and so he was replaced with a more hopeful candidate. My guess would be that if the Republicans did do this, they at least didn't violate the law.
Does anyone know what election Colmes was talking about?
It was Bob Franks replacing someone in the GOP primary vs.
Brett Shundler (New Jersey Gov. race)
I didn't get all the details, but did catch that the
difference was that in that case, the NJ Legislature
approved the switch
