Couple more things..

I thought there was a report that in Maryland, they actually threw the Oreos (tm) onto the stage at the debate.

In Hawaii, the health of Rep. Patsy Mink (D)was hidden from the public as she was dying while on the ballot. I would not be suprised if she was quietly kept on life support until the deadline to replace her on the ballot had passed. Then one could vote in sympathy for the dead Dem. Then they realized what NJ could mean and decided that there was plenty of time for a special election..

But that trick won't help in the end. If Mink wins on Tuesday, a special election will have to be held since no one can be appointed to a House seat. So the GOP will have time to analyze the results and see who the Dems pick to run for the seat. A Mink win won't help the Dems get the House. So on the scale of Dem tricks, this one won't do any real harm.
