Agreed, Forrester needs to go on the offensive now -- at least he knows he has an opponent -- it is very difficult to run against no one -- he should do Larry King, Imus, anyplace he can get himself booked.

Overall strategy:

1. The dismal Lautenberg record -- taxes, national security especially.

2. Lautenberg is old and tired --- use the clips of his retirment speech -- NJ voters will be really voting for candidate X and the governor is likely to appoint himself to the seat when Frankie retires

3. the corrupt politics of the Torricelli-Lautenberg machine -- "send 'em a message" and the "bait and switch" strategy

4. Forrester positive vision

And get the president and vice president of the united states into NJ again asap.

All that will help, but Forrester has to pull out all the stops. That includes going on Howard Stern's show, it means the RNC has to stay involved. We can;t quit, or else the Dems will win.
