We are a nation ruled by the individual.
The lesson here is not even that you can cheat and win. The lesson is that if you don't elect CONSERVATIVES, don't expect favorable outcomes when the chips are down. While I doubt there are very many, at least there are probably a few NJ Republicans who now regret the way they treated Schundler and probably wish they had worked harder for his election.
Moreover, if Forrester loses, it will be because he did what we have ALWAYS accused the Dems of doing, running a totally negative "I'm-not-Toricelli" race. Yes, he should have done that. But you can't play defense. You must give people a reason to vote FOR you, and we'll see if he can do that now.
