Governor McGreevey appointing someone to the Senate -- after Torricelli resigned as a Senator, which he has not done, yet -- was the fall-back position for the Democrats if the NJ SC ruled against the name change. That option obviously no longer applies.

Right, but you said he would appoint someone until 2004. Anyone should know that he can only appoint someone to finish THIS term, which ends in January. Even the Democrats know that, and know that it wouldn't be debatable. It was absurd to claim they would do such a thing.

Any argument to be made that the election has, in effect, already begun as military/absentee ballots have already been cast, therefore rendering it too late to change candidates?
