Much that is true in the article, a lot of specifics arguable. The nut of Forrester's loss was that he had built a lead pointing out Torch's criminality, which was too much even for NJ. Once he had no Torch to run against, from what I saw of Forrester, he had NOTHING to run on, no platform of what he supported, and zero ability to shift gears from anti-Torch to pro-Forrester.

I'm just a dumb ole Texas boy, but Forrester sounded so scripted that he came across as a human encyclopedia, regurgitating facts but with no emotion.

I'm not surprised he wasn't able to connect with New Jersey voters. He reminds me of my nerdy cousin, who knows everything except how to talk to his kids when they come to him with a problem.

They call me or my wife, because they know we'll listen and not try to "fix" their problem.

It would have helped if Forrester had been pro-life; it would have helped even more if he had exhibited some warmth as a human being.

That's what your campaign team is for. Do you know who they were?
