He looks and acts like someone's crazy old grandpa-is he telling Forrester to pull his finger? The DNC must be frantic,now that the Laut has escaped from the home and is actually being seen in public!

Anyone have the full story of their impromptu "debate" in the street?

"Help! Security! I've been separated from my handlers! Nobody said anything about confronting my opponent!"

What a schmendrick.

No wonder the Torch and Lautenberg never got along, then again looking at the pictures could anybody get along with Lautenberg?

Any Democrat who ever puts their finger in my face will be slapped! I would have jumped through the TV screen if I could when Clinton wagged his finger in my face on national TV while lying about Monica. That was the moment dislike turned to hatred for Clinton! The day the Senate voted to not impeach him is the day I bought my first gun and decided I'd never vote for another Democrat as long as I live!

It looks to me that the grumpy old man in the first photo is shaking his finger at one of Forrester's supporters (a woman). Forrester looks like he is trying to calm the situation.

I still can't find a news story of the exchange (but these photos are a good start). So far this is the first (and possibly only) debate between the candidates.

Man the supporters for Lautenberg are a scary bunch!!!! Is that a third eye on the kid behind the Laut? The other kid looks like he is hoping for government funded dental work.

Hey, isn't that Shirley Hemple from "What's Happening"?

It looks as if he's putting his finger in the face of the "Animated" lady behind Forrester.

Looks more like that one kid with the teeth showing is thinking "Is that crazy man who I'm holding the sign for?"

He won't get the soccer-mom vote if he keeps that up. It must've been time for his nap and he was getting cranky.

Here in VT the Democrats all seem to have red campaign signs. I see that Lauts signs are primarily red as well. Could it be the Rats are showind their true "colors"?
