Forrester's people look like real voters. Lousenberg's look like they can't even read the placards they are holding.

I would have bought you dinner if you used it on Stainman.

One advantage to being Lautenberg's age is you don't have to lick envelopes anymore...just rub the flap on your chin.

This from the Forrester web page: (bold print mine)

Lautenberg Afraid To Debate:

(METUCHEN, OCTOBER 19) – Today, U.S. Senate candidate Doug Forrester challenged Frank Lautenberg to debate him at the Metuchen Street Fair. Doug brought two podiums to the street fair and confronted Mr. Lautenberg to live up to his promise to debate “any place, any time.”

Two weeks ago, at the Old Bridge Fair, Frank Lautenberg agreed to debate Doug “any place, any time.” Since then, Mr. Lautenberg has ducked every opportunity to debate Doug. The Press of Atlantic City called Mr. Lautenberg’s promise “pure bluster.” The Bergen Record said “Frank Lautenberg has a lot of nerve” for refusing to debate.

Doug Forrester released the following statement: “It is clear from today’s events that Mr. Lautenberg is afraid to stand up and debate me man-to-man.

“Today, I repeatedly asked Mr. Lautenberg why he voted seven times against the death penalty for terrorists who murder Americans. He refused to answer.

“I repeatedly asked Mr. Lautenberg why he voted to create the tax on Social Security benefits, which forces nearly 400,000 New Jersey seniors to pay $945 every year in taxes. He refused to answer.

“I repeatedly asked Mr. Lautenberg why New Jersey ranks dead last in the return on the taxes we send to Washington, when twenty years ago, Mr. Lautenberg complained we ranked 45th. He refused to answer.

“It is very obvious that Frank Lautenberg cannot coherently defend his horrible national security record, his horrible record of increasing taxes, and his repeated votes to tax seniors on their Social Security benefits.

It’s a shame that Mr. Lautenberg walked away from the podium we provided. It underscores his inability to defend his horrible record. New Jersey voters deserve a series of televised, primetime debates.

“As our nation fights a war on terrorism, why would the people of New Jersey elect a candidate who is scared and incapable of debating and has a horrible record on national security?”

------------------------------------------

HeeHee! Next time The Laut sees Forrester and the podi, he's going to walk away --- fast!! HeeHee!

o far this is the first (and possibly only) debate between the candidates.

I read that Lautenberg agreed to one debate only--3 days before the election.

That was what I heard, Saturday before election Tuesday.

And what of the early voters? Better shore up their votes before Lautenberg shows his age I guess.

Could you post this as a Front Page News thread? So far there is no "news" thread for today's debate.

I briefly tried to find Forrester's campaign site on Yahoo but was unsuccessful.

This is a debate? It looks more like a assault by a crazy old man to me? Is this how they do things in Jersey, or is this just a isolated incident of terrorism?
