Yea. I would agree with you - Provided that I believed that the Democrat Party cared how they looked in the eyes of the voting public. But from what I see, the kind of voters that vote Democrat now-a-days would applaud this kind of action.

They would do it as either

(A) Hey another victory for the little guys!,
(B) Boy, we really pulled the wool over the eyes of the Bad ol' Republicans now!,
(C) The Republicans couldn't of "stolen" this election!, and
(D) So what? We do whatever it takes. Whatever!

Now, apparently this is the kind of stuff that "insiders" of politics know all about. I don't know how valid that is. But I do know that Jay has been in Politics for over 20 years and has contacts all over the place. That is a fact. Also, he is also usually RIGHT ON with his predictions. That is also a FACT.

The Dems will do risky things if there's a pay-off at the end. For instance, this NJ move is undoubtedly risky, but the pay-off is they might keep a Dem seat and ultimately control of the Senate.

What would the pay-off be to put Torricelli back into his old seat instead of a relatively clean new politician?
