I guess Torch is continuing to haggle over terms. Get ready for this to be postponed again, and again, and...
To: mystery-ak; All
I just heard that the press conference has been pushed back to 5 p.m. Eastern.
We could be a VERY sloshed group by then.
We shall make a pact to overlook typos.........OK?

They can write in a name... Yeh, but without knowledge of the person, would he win? It gives an edge to the Republican?
To: Mad Dawgg
Trebec: This dead man received 168% of the dead vote in November, 2000.
To: Wphile

What about when Torch resigns next week to beat the 30 day deadline for the 2 year New Jersey appointed special election.. that would make the Senate 49 Pubbies, 49 Rats and 1 'I' Would Trent Lott get half share of the commmittees back?
To: bioprof
Yes, didn't the New Jersey Educational Association issue a statement supporting Torch just over the weekend? I wonder why nobody warned them that this might be happening.

Trying to prevent Rush and Sean from hammering it, I guess.
"Bait-and-switch candidates" or "so desperate to hold power they will cancel an election."
Either way, if ANYONE ever doubted that voting for a Republican in the general election is a bad idea, THIS, of all things, should convince them otherwise.

That works for me.
To: marajade
I like my Governor, Hull. But I wouldn't want her to pick who my next Senator would be.
That is a good point....McGreevey must be willing to risk turning some voters against HIM.
There's no way around him taking a least a small political hit if he goes along with this sleazy tactic.
To: Dog
Torch will resign from his seat and McGreevy will then appoint a replacement who will be automatically eligible for the ballot without even filing and getting the required signatures!
It's too bad Ted Olson is now the Solicitor General and therefore unable to argue this case. How about Barry Richard:

McGreevey was just elected, right? He's got a lot of time to make it up.

The sloshing is everywhere, I just saw a bold faced all caps post with 2-3 spelling errors..and the thread after it is hilarious!
To: Dog
I think what is driving Torcelli out is the expectations of even more bad news that is probably about to break. We need to keep our ears to the ground so that we will know what it is. It probably won't break any earlier than tomorrow. Maybe later than that.
