Oh, and i think Simon shoul step down and let Arnold run against davis. And Racicot should take over the republican campaign in Montana. Anybody other than the Angels ought to be playing the Yankees cause the Angels are going to get creamed.
I actually agree with this. Mike Taylor has proven completely ineffective, and the GOP has shamefully neither supported nor funded Taylor effectively.
I checked a couple of articles on this guy's previous Senate races and it turns out Lautenberg's popularity was far below any of the other 'RAT Senators from N.J. In his last Senate race, Lautenberg finshed a mere 3% ahead of an unknown arch-conservative running in a left-leaning state.
In 1988, Lautenberg was deemed the likely loser against a GOP "resume candidate" who had accomplished just about everything in his life. Lautenberg won by 54% after running a relentless string of attack ads claiming the guy was a carpetbagger and phony.
In 1982, he won by a whooping 51% after spending zillions against a Republican who had limited herself to $1.6 million for a campaign warchest. He won by proclaiming she was way too old to be a freshman Senator and she should retire (Lautenberg is currently pushing 80, far older than the women he attacked in 1982)
In short, Lautenberg has a ton of negatives and Forrester should be able to get endless ammo on this guy. ;-)
