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:

Torch press conference pushed back to 5:00PM EST.

He would be my choice as well. He was excellent in Florida.

Barry Richard was the legal expert on FL election law. Jim Baker made very sure to hire him right after the 2000 election.

He must have NJ equivalents. The Forrester campaign and the RNC should be hiring those NJ equivalents right now. Keep them from taking the side of the Dems (who are short of money.)

I wonder what happens to campaign funds. How can they legally be transferred ?

How can they do that? It seems as though elections are for people to choose the canidates. Since when are they chosen for everyone? Something is wrong with that idea.
