Thsu, nothing he says or does can be trusted to be in the best interests of the country. If elected, he will not serve out his term. He will only keep the seat warm until a replacement can be recruited (does Torricelli have enough on the governor to force him to reappoint Bob to a seat he could not win?). We must hit on the "if he wanted to be senator for the country, he would have run in the primary" and "more disgrace and corruption from Jersey in the eyes of the rest of the country."
What were his committees? What did they do? How did he vote on resolutions related to war and on appointments? What is available from the FBI via a FOIA request? Who were his staff members? Are private videos available? The media will already be destroying any news tape that makes Lautenberg look dumb, old or crooked. Has he paid all his real estate taxes? Does he employ any illegal aliens and not pay the taxes for them? Drunk driving? How about his family members? Any convictions or unexplained wealth? This is Jersey, the integrity state. Even if corruption doesn't offend dems in Jersey, it might influence voters in other states and force them to realize how filthy these people really are.
