"This is completely irrelevant. Toricelli is not considering resigning from the Senate. He is considering resigning his candidacy - so that the Democratic Party can name a new candidate for the Nov. election to replace him in Jan. "

According to Fox news he is considering resigning. But his replacemanet could only serve until the end of Torches term.

What about this??? Torch announces that he considered resigning and not running, however, he has realized that this would be the cowards way. He has decided to run and pleads with the N.J. voters to reelect him and clear his name which has been besmerched by his evil republican opponent. Then he states that if he is elected, it will exonerate him completly and he will resign as soon as he is sworn in for his next term... The N.J. voters can vote for Torch knowing it will be a vote for someone that will be appointed by the democrat governor of N.J. Kinda like voting for a dead man but really voting for his wife.

Even New Jersey Democrats are not dumb enough to fall for this. ;-) The Torch's "word" is not worth a whole lot right now.

From the first line of this thread:

"If a vacancy shall happen in the representation of this state in the United States senate, it shall be filled at the general election next succeeding the happening thereof, unless such vacancy shall happen within thirty days next preceding such election, in which case it shall be filled by election at the second succeeding general election, unless the governor of this state shall deem it advisable to call a special election therefor, which he is authorized hereby to do."
