I tend to agree with you. Forrester is not the empty suit everyone has him chalked up to be--his less than steller appearance on Fox yesterday not withstanding. He is a typical "Big Tent" New Jersey republican that gets elected all the time in these parts--e.g. Whitman, Kean, Freylinghausen. I wish he were more socially conservative, but look what happened to Schundler last year. The focus on the courts over the next 4 weeks would make to much noise for Forrester to get the word out and may have awakened the Demoncrat base which I think is really sleeping right now.

At the worst thing that Forrester can do now is to allow the Demoncrats to define him. If he plays the victim card to the exclusion of an agressive campaign to present himself to the New Jersey voters on his terms he risks allowing the Demoncrats to define him.

Yep... the last thing Forrester needed was to give traction to the democrats by having the feds step in to state politics. This guy should clean house now. Combine his policy, his message with a message that the other side has cheated and I got screwed by the good ole boy politics here in New Jersey.

Having the dems plan backfire in their face is better than having a court overrule them and give them traction.

My head all but exploded when I heard Forrester whine about NJ being at the bottom of the pork barrel. I started yelling at the screen, "we don't need anymore porkmeisters in the Senate! Those are MY tax dollars you want to snark up!"

Luckily, I'm not an NJ voter, but my daughter is. But she heard him too & is now considering a 3rd party candidate--she may well vote for the Conservative Party candidate after THAT faux pas by Forrester.
