When Torricelli went down to corruption charges a couple weeks before the election, the NJ Supreme Court overturned election law which prohibited candidates from being changed on the ballot within 30 days of the election so the dems could swap in a new guy. They took an old retired US Senator, Frank Lautenburg, a guy who was rumored to have dementia, and put him on the ballot at the last second. With no campaigning and buzz that he was senile, he still won walking away.
This is NJ. I give Hugin 5% chance to win against the guy who was charged with all sorts of corruption (and let's face it, the evidence was iron clad) and only managed to walk free due to a hung jury in his own backyard. Everyone who pays any attention knows the guy is dirty. But he'll win anyway.
I hate this state.
