I serously doubt that. This move has sickened a lot of Democrats, plus Lautenberg said a number of unflattering things about being a Senator. It'll still be a race if the USSC doesn't rule against Lautenberg.
I'm hoping law is restored by the Supreme Court knocking down the NJ ruling. Forrester was totally put at a disadvantage by the NJSC.
The primary objection voiced by the Leftists is the fact that Forrester is seeking to prevent the voters a choice. We are all aware of the fact that the people's choice wasn't Lautenberg. The Leftists made him their choice. Other candidates from other parties remain on the ballot.
Currently America's major concern is terrorism ie Saddam. Recall the Gulf War and Lautenbergs firewall stand against it, what do the people want today? What were his spending/tax records and how would those attitudes affect our nation today? How many democrats favor lower taxes if it affects them?
How many people, regardless of party, have a true desire to see the law upheld?
Has he said anything about not resigning his seat before his full term is over?
