I think that all those other names put up to replace the Torch were phony, since Lautenberg was the obvious choice from day one. I think they did it to implement plan B, which is to get Torch to resign by next Monday, which he has probably told them he would refuse to do for Lautenberg. Now they can say they tried to find someone else, but all turned them down, so he should play ball. If he resigns, the Dems' case is infinitely stronger. As it is, the Dems don't have a case, and I don't think the NJSC will go for it. Yes, I am going out on a limb, but I just can't see how the Court can do it.

EXACTLY!...this is a week-long stall tactic, they'll lose eventually in the courts, be left with "NO OPTION" but for the torch to "resign" for the good of the party...I wouldn't be suprised if this hadn't been in the works for a week deep in the Clinton's Reichstag...er, sorry bunker in New York...
