No. Bret needs time for people to forget the BS McGreevey pulled, and to clean out the RINO establishment.

DiFrancesco's mob is not going to be easy to take care of, and Bret will have to be PERFECT in the rematch on `05. Let Bob Franks, who stood with Bret, take on the Torch. I think we ought to back a moderate who is a team player, the way Franks is. He may not vote with us all the time, but at the same time, every Rat Senator we knock off in 2002 improves our chances of keeping Daschle as minority leader.

Bob Franks is not a RINO, IMO. He is a moderate Republican, yes, but not a RINO like Warner and DiFrancesco.

I agree with you. Bob Franks seems to be a good guy. Don DiFrancesco is a creep.

I live in Pa. and I voted for Specter two out of three times, so I'm not one to talk. If you can get Franks into the Senate go for it.

But what the establishment GOP in NJ did to a very honest, decent and intelligent fellow -- who I think might be an excellent national candidate -- frosts me.
