It might be for the best. My biggest worry was that Democrats' screams for "fairness" would trip up elections in other states and through the House and Senate to the Dems. That said, I think following the law has to be an important principle, and I've earlier posted several arguments against the Lautenberg swap.

Well, now the issue should be how the Demos denied the military their right to vote.

Well, it's up to the New Jersey voters to see if they truly want Loutenburg over Forrester and even if they do, there may be other states that vote in Republicans (MN, SD, MO, GA)...I heard former pro Football Cowboy Hershel Walker was stumping for Saxby Chambliss down in GA - it's a long pass and he makes the play - touchdown for Saxby Chambliss! Let's keep on hoping!

So, we allow the screams of the democrats to determine what abuses we fight?

The dems are going to twist whatever we do to maximum benefit for them. To avoid taking on a battle because of their vengence - means simply - they win.
