I don't know if NJ law permits Pallone to run for both houses. If I were him, and if the law allowed, I would want to run in both races -- I wouldn't be too confident I could actually pull off this Senate maneuver. But that would cause a problem if he won both races.

Barring that, yes, there would be the same problem twice -- I assume the Dems would not be willing to forfeit Pallone's House seat. I wonder how safe it is -- I think I've read there are a lot of Reagan Democrats in that district. So maybe they'll lose it even if they're allowed to substitute a candidate there too.
