After thinking about it for a while, I've come to the conclusion that the NJ Supremes will most likely not allow the Torch's name to be replaced with someone else. It's called "precedence". Unless they can come up with some peculiarity about this specific election, if they allow the DemocRATs to prevail, every time in the future, when a candidate is losing, he can quit and get replaced by someone else. That's a nightmare and I doubt that the NJ Supremes would want that.

Hello, I've been a daily "lurker" since 11/2000 but just recently registered. I have a question and am wondering if anyone can clarify this issue: today Mark Levin (via Sean Hannity) said this issue has to stop with the NJSC, it's a state issue that cannot be decided by SCOTUS. Yet it seems to me that if it's an election for a Federal position, the U.S. Senate, SCOTUS could ultimately have a say in the matter. I'm hoping the NJSC will do the right thing and it wouldn't be necessary, but after 2000 I'm expecting just about anything to happen. Thoughts? Thanks.

But, there IS precedence in NJ when the death of a candidate occured.

As Rush said, look for the Torch to show up in a New Jersey landfill with 12 bullet holes in him and a suicide note pinned to his chest!
