And if your scenario plays out, what do they say to Forrester? So sorry, run again sometime?
Under the scenario I described, Forrester would run against Lautenberg (or someone else) in a "special election" that could be held as early as November 6th.
It's an idiotic shot in the dark on their part, but look how much mileage the Democrats got in their court hearing today despite a ballot deadline that even a 5 year-old could understand.
