I hate to say it, but to be fair to the voters, Christie should select a Democrat.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’m never going to vote for Christie anyway.

[bigdaddy45]

Wha wha HUH?????? He’s the governor. He was elected. Its his job to pick a successor. Why should he pick a Democrat?? But if we’re going that route, I suggest he pick another 89 year old white democrat who’s got one foot in the grave (seems fair).

[House Atreides]

My betting is that he’ll name former governor Thomas Kean to be a “caretaker”—and take that action early enough so that an election will have to be held November 2013. That way he’ll cause some trouble within the NJ Democrat establishment.

Would 'fairness to the voters' influence any Rat governor you know of if a Republican senator passed away in office?

The Democrats screwed over the voters to GET him the seat! To be fair, Christie should pick a Republican.

[mrmeyer]

“Fairness” is the bullsh*t excuse the collectivist NJ State Suprmeme Court argued when it violated NJ election law to permit Lautenberg to come out of retirement to replace Robert Torricelli when Doug Forrester was way ahead of RT in the polls. To hell with “fairness.”

No. We are not a parliamentary system. We cannot assume that someone voting for a senator who happens to be a Dem or a Rep needs the successor to be from the same party, or even the same ideology. Christie should pick the best human for the job.

Funny you should say that because the fairness argument is exactly what the Rats used to illegally get sure-to-lose Bob "The Torch" Torricelli replaced on the ballot by Lousenberg.

[Resolute Conservative]

Would a dim governor choose a republican?

[Jane Long]

I hate to say it, but to be fair to the voters, Christie should select a Democrat.

Okay, yeah, right.

He can switch parties, then nominate himself.

[nitzy]

Which voters? The ones who elected a Republican to the office that is responsible for selecting Senate replacements?

[bert]

That is a perverted thought. The voters voted for Christie a Republican. To be fair to the voter he has no choice but to select a Republican.

Steve Forbes would be a good choice.

[nascarnation]

The obvious choice is Hillary Clinton.
America needs her back in Washington.

Christie is a Governor and can select anybody who he chooses, which means he should NOT select a Democrat.
