If I see that odious Clinton up on the stage with his Mussolini smile, I will have to start the cocktail hour early. Furthermore, we will know definitely that they are in control and have a plan and are trying to establish themselves as kingmakers.

And I will bet the people of New Jersey will be really PO'd. I know I will be, and I don't live in their state.

In which case, the RNC should pull out all the stops on nationalizing this election, using pink-tie Tommy as the poster boy for why one needs to vote Republican.

(09-30) 10:21 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Robert Torricelli, a prolific fund-raiser whose re-election hopes were severely damaged by an ethics controversy, told colleagues Monday he will drop out of the race if a suitable replacement is found for the Nov. 5 ballot, two Democrats said.

The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said Torricelli informed New Jersey Democratic leaders and Senate colleagues of his plan. The sources cautioned Torricelli had not finalized his decision as discussions about a replacement continued.
