Yes, a very tricky task since Fat Boy doesn’t know any conservatives that live in NJ.

The liberal media has already started their line, “Oh, you better not nominate a conservative or Obama will stop liking you and you will have a much tougher election in the fall. You better not do it... You better not...”

Fat chance. He’s still all misty thanks to his bromance with obama. He won’t risk his new love by doing anything to make obama mad.

I guess we can all pretty much surmise what political persuasion is gonna be. I guess we all can pretty much surmise that, coincidentally, Obama will release 6, 8 10, 100 billion dollars in post Sandy relief aid, too.

If he appoints a Dem, he doesn't have a shot at the next election....not as a Republican.

He thinks he's hot and maybe he is but he might be cutting his own throat with what he's been pulling.

Krispy Kream will no doubt nominate a lefty, since he is one. I wouldn’t be surprised if the blubber-bucket doesn’t change parties in a week or two.

The Judge would be great, but Christie will need his masters approval.

Is Torricelli available? The NJ electorate has certain expectations for corruption.

They could get Bill Clinton to buy a house in Newark and then put him in.

Why are they just now getting around to replacing him now when Lautenberg died long ago.

I ask this because I really want to know the answer. Can a person actually live openly as a Conservative in NJ? I know that we have some staunch Conservatives here on this board that live in NJ but it seems that hate for Conservatives is at a dangerous level in NJ today.

If jelly belly crispie creme can find a black, muslim, gay, transgendered feminazi to appoint... he might just get his very own Nobel Prize!

I’d think the trick would be extricating himself from a seat...
