Sept. 30 Beleaguered by ethics charges, a tearful New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli dropped out of his re-election race Monday. I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate, Torricelli told a news conference in Trenton, N.J. I will not allow it to happen. Although the Sept. 16 legal deadline has passed, Democratic Gov. James McGreevey said the party had filed a petition with the state Supreme Court to put a new name on the Nov. 5 ballot. |

Everyone call every RAT office holder - federal, state and local - and raise Hell at this despicable, corrupt manipulation of the political process. Be sure to tell the officials that you are voting straight Republican on Nov 5.
We are witnessing absolute evil.

Beleaguered by his bad polling numbers IMO, so how can he chose to just drop out? The Senate itself did not throw him out.
How can anyone after the deadline say, "Gee, I'm losing abnd the Senate is gone for sure, so I want to quit to cheat the Republicans of my seat.
Slightly transparent.
