That night, he and some longtime friends and advisers met at Marsilio's, an Italian restaurant and haunt for politicos in Trenton. They drank the restaurant's trademark jugs of wine and reminisced. Torricelli remarked that the atmosphere was like "someone's grandmother died." Why do I keep getting a picture of a fat, aging Brando re-reading this sentence?

Torricelli called Angelo Genova, the Democratic Party's top election lawyer, and asked: Is it possible, just five weeks before Election Day, to put another candidate on the ballot?And Ange "No Nose" Genova said, "You kidding? This is New Jersey. Anything's possible."

I'll bet these guys are happy they went to college and the academy so they could be pizza delivery boys.

I love the way this article attempts to show that Torricelli was the initiator of own political demise. That's a load of manure. He was told by party bosses--Daschle,Clinton,McAuliffe--the jig was up and get ready to step aside. It's absurd to think that Torricelli was so high-minded and unselfish that he willing stepped out of consideration in the race--that goes against anything that we know about his character, or lack thereof, for the last thirty years.

You notice how in this entire process there's not one discussion about whether or not what they wanted to do was legal or not? Not any consideration given to the law, just what will keep them in power....
