I HONESTLY thought Frank was about to have a stroke during his acceptance speech. He looks awful.

Forrester should drop the SCOTUS attempt. It'll go nowhere. I guess maybe he believes the SCOTUS will deny this rather quickly, but Doug can give his Republican supporters some red meat to chew on.

If he focuses on the Torricelli-Lautenberg machine angle, and corruption from them and the state Democrat party bosses, he has a very decent shot of this.

It shouldn't be underestimated that Frank was the last choice for this. The state Democrats knew that he has one foot in the grave and looks feeble-minded.

Doug should ask for a debate-a-week. Make sure everyone in NJ knows that Frank is not as sharp mentally or physically as he once was.

But Christie T. was a "moderate" and a GOP press darling!

The media loves anybody who supports the killing of babies. It is definitely the key media tests for who is a moderate. In the case of McCain, the media loves him because he dumps on corporations and hates Christians, the other key media tests for determining a moderate.

The SCOTUS won't touch this with a 10-foot-pole. Bank that.

Frank will be on the ballot on 11/5.

The Torricelli – Lautenberg machine

Nice move. He is already tying Torrecelli and Lautenberg together. He should only refer to Lautenberg in the context he used above.

How often did Torricelli and Lautenberg vote differently on any issue?

Notice how they are tying Lautenberg in with Torrecilli

Well, the democrats made the tie between the two; Forrester is simply reminding the voters of that fact.

Good statement on his part, BTW.

Anybody know when we can expect to hear from the U.S. Supremes as to whether they'll hear the case.

Forrester should immediately demand a debate with Lautenberg. Let's see how prepared he is to represent New Jersey in the Senate.

Great idea.

I think right now our best weapon is ridicule.

For the time being.

Congress should make it a federal offense to tamper with a federal election from the bench. A case like that would probably go to the US Supreme Court, but it would shine spotlight on this gross judicial impropriety.

We will pursue an appeal of this matter to the Supreme Court of the United States

It's great news that they are pursing an appeal. The Republicans need to put the brass knuckles on and let the leftists feel some pain. We cannot let these creeps do what they want. We need to fight using every instrument available. Each election court case the Republicans win makes it that much harder for the cheaters to use these unlawful means in the future. If we don't stop them here, they will do it again.

I thought that the good people of New Jersey all ready let their wishes known when the polls showed Torricelli running 20% behind Forrester.

Gee, I wonder if I am not doing too well in my driver's license renewal test if the State Supreme Court would let me select a replacement to take the test on my behalf.

I mean it is very vitally important to my family's continued power, that I drive?

The Torricelli-Lautenberg machine

This is pretty good, but I would just start addressing Lautenberg as Torricelli, and explain to the citizens that a vote for Lautenberg is a vote for Torricelli, because Lautenberg will resign shortly after taking office, and Torricelli will be appointed to replace him.

>>Wow. If the return for tax dollars in NJ is worse than here in CA, things must be pretty bad.

>The numbers I've seen run in the 67 to 69 cents on the dollar range. Connecticut is about as bad.

The Tax Foundation puts those numbers together in their report, Federal Taxing and Spending Benefit Some States, Leave Others Footing the Bill.

According to the report: "Combining the second highest tax burden per capita with low federal spending (33rd highest), New Jersey had the lowest federal spending-to-tax ratio (0.67). The 0.67 ratio means that New Jersey only receives 67¢ in federal spending for every dollar its taxpayers send to Washington and is therefore the nation’s biggest loser from federal fiscal operations. Other states that had low federal spending-to-tax ratios in FY 2001 are Connecticut (67¢), New Hampshire (71¢), Nevada (76¢) and Illinois (78¢)."

. How is wussing out in the courts beating them at their own game?

As I said on another thread:

Is Forrester really so bad that the only candidate he can beat is a proven cheater? I mean, geez, I hate the SCONJ's ruling too, and it's sad, but if Forrester had an ounce of worth it seems he should be up to taking on all comers...right?

He needs to have one of those commercials where the Torch morphs into the Laut!

How about a brawl-a-week?
