WTF ? The run up to today was STIKE ONE (He was getting his ass handed to him in the polls)

The NJSC will be STRIKE 2 (If he's rebuffed there, he get's to apeal)

The SCOTUS will be strike THREE ?!?!?

What could their possible argument be? They have a choice of two, IMO.

1) He was a crook and was losing

or

2) We don't want the GOP to have the Senate?

Fox saying that Bill Clinton has until next Monday to set up residency in NJ and run.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE

Just when ya think ya can't be shocked anymore...

However, if the Klinkster and Her Heinous orchestrated this, they didn't use their usual diabolical finesse. This has got to be a disaster for the Dems.

Abortion
Guns
VRWC etc

This game plan by demos has "violates equal protection clause" written ALL over it.

The dems KNOW They are going down.
The crazy thing is, they think the rest of the election is going to be close... we are looking at referendum on democrat terrorist support of the killers on 9/11, the first real nationwide referendum we have had since the slaughter of several thousands of unarmed americans last year.

America has heard all side on this matter. America has decided who will "pay" for our dead family members... The DEMS are the party of terrorists. THEY will be held guilty. They will be thrown out. EN MASSE...

Anyone, including Clinton, can set up residency in NJ by Monday and get on the ballot.

I think they will lose in NJ, too.

NOBODY likes "bait and switch" - EVERYONE knows that is sleazy. The "bait and switch" Democrats are acting like sleazy corporate CEOs.

This is about taking the right away from Forrester being able to win an election fair and square.

YEP and Torricelli EVEN said so

Torricelli Quits Senate Race

The Associated Press

September 30, 2002, 5:41 PM EDT

WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen. Robert Torricelli abruptly dropped his re-election bid Monday — just five weeks before Election Day — after a bruising year marked by ethics questions and an admonishment by his colleagues.

“In a strange irony of life, control of the Democratic majority of the U.S. Senate is an issue. I am the issue,” an emotional Torricelli said. “I could not stand the pain if any failing on my part would do damage to the things, the people that I have fought for all my life.”

Torricelli said he spoke with Gov. James E. McGreevey, New Jersey Sen. Jon Corzine and former President Clinton before making his decision.

“I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority of the U.S. Senate. I will not let it happen. There is just too much at issue,” Torricelli said.

The news threw New Jersey’s Senate race into chaos. Torricelli’s woes have troubled Democratic strategists for months as they struggle to maintain the party’s single-seat majority in the Senate.

Torricelli, 51, who was seeking a second term, spent all day talking with party leaders about possible replacements and researching the legal issues involved in getting a new candidate on the Nov. 5 ballot.

SNIP ...

"Bait and switch" is always a loser, whether your a crooked businessman, or a crooked political party.

These are the "bait and switch" Democrats.

Clinton. That's it! The one name that might just work in a write in campaign. That is what Torch and Bill were talking about. Whether Bill will do it is another matter. This is so so interesting.
