Interesting point on Torricelli's decision that I had not thought of, John. Does "Follow the Money" sound familiar? From "ABC Notes" >>>> Because of Torricelli's relationship with the DSCC, which he chaired last cycle, no matter how bad his numbers got, the committee was going to have to spend millions of dollars in advertising in the Philadelphia and New York markets for, essentially, a lost cause. Now, the DSCC either will have to spend nothing, or they'll spend on a new candidate who actually could win the seat<<<< Also: >>> McGreevey and Torricelli, judging from their morning show appearances, seem confident that this can be resolved quickly with one-stop shopping at the New Jersey Supreme Court, now conveniently controlled by Democrats. But the New York Times says this is destined for the US Supreme Court, and you can rest assured that Doctor/Senator Frist of the NRSC will take it to the SCOTUS and The Hague if necessary to stop this from happening<<<<

I said yesterday that it would not take long for the Republicans to gear up on "Baghdad Jim." From "ABC notes" >>>> Little noticed yesterday amidst the rush to master New Jersey election law was the clearly coordinated Republican assault on Democrats, specifically Congressmen Bonior and McDermott, in an effort to make them appear weak on national security. We don't know about you, but we got releases attacking "Saddam's Spokesmen" or levying similar if less snarky charges from joints like the GOP House campaign committee, the Republican National Committee and its research operation, and House GOP Conference chairman JC Watts, among others.<<<<
