Lautenberg agreed to debate? Are you sure?

He's talking now. Sounds shakey, unfortunately not many will be watching it.

I think I saw Forrester & Lautenberg in the crowd.

It's a lousy format. I wanted one-on-one for at least 90 minutes.

I am from New Jersey (Freehold)> I have run as a Republican in there, and I have worked on campaigns there. I hate to say this, but there is no scenario by which Forrester can win a state-wide election in New Jersey. Whitman may be the last Republican to do it, and she was one of the reasons many republicans bolted the party and/or New Jersey. (They are RINO's of the highest order).

There are still many excellent republican enclaves in the state, but far too many to elect a Republican state-wide.

I would love to be wrong, but this one will be a double-digit defeat for Forrester. (At this point, only a Nor'ester could save Forrester, as voter turnout will have to be massively repressed. If it's sunny and 60 degrees, the senile old man will win big, sit until December of '03, and McGreevey will then appoint Menendez).

I am wondering, I did not hear the debate. Did Forrester challenge Lautenburg to sign a pledge to serve his full term. I advised the campaign to push that issue, but I don't think they were going to run with it. It would have been a great way to keep the stench of the fix in people's minds, without seeming like they were whining.)
