FYI...

An ad like this might singlehandedly win the election for Doug Forrester. Make it happen, please!

Hope you're right about this, Antoninus. Still, I get the impression that New Jersey is a sewer of cynicism, where people just say, "hey, the Torch just did what everybody else does. So let's give him a pass." Sometimes I think people are more comfortable with dishonest politicians than they are with honest ones, who can be "scary." (You know, those "moral majority types" are trying to overthrow the government, persecute sinners, yada yada....)

Sigh. What a world we live in, when people aren't outraged when politicians convert their offices into sources of personal wealth and self-aggrandisement. Tell you what: I'd have nothing but contempt for the people of New Jersey if they give Torricelli another term as their senator. They'd have to be either hopelessly ignorant, hopelessly delusional (why else put a fox in charge of the chickens???) or hopelessly masochistic....

I wish Mr. Forrester godspeed with his challenge. The U.S. Senate is way overdue for a restoration of sanity and, left to the Dims, that just ain't gonna happen. JMHO FWIW.

I tend to think that any Republican candidate in NJ would decline to use a winning ad to defeat any Democrat. The "gentlemanly" Republican would consider such an ad to be "misleading" and in "bad taste." He would, in the words of Bob Dole, not want to "have to do that" to win. That is why the NJ Republican candidates will continue to lose election after election -- they would rather play polo than politics.

I live in NJ, who is this Doug Forrester guy? He is from the past maybe? The guy is nowhere to be found. He will be skipped over like Bret was. The Torch is a lock. Tony Soprano could win but not Doug Forrester. Doug Forrester? Who is that?
