Torch may go out


New Jersey Senator Bob Torricelli, the Democrat who was "severely admonished" by the Senate Ethics Committee for accepting 'gifts', is so far behind in the polls that he is mulling over dropping out of the race. Torricelli had hoped that his constituents would look past the questionable gifts he received from David Chang, who incidentally is doing hard time for giving Bob those gifts. He even moved to block the release of court papers until after the election, so that the evil Republicans couldn't continue to politicize his past transgressions. Unfortunately for Bob, a poll following the release of those documents shows that he is 14 points behind his Republican challenger.

The Democrat Party may move to replace Torricelli on the November ballot, if they can get special permission from the Federal Election Commission.

The Torch was dropping faster in the polls than Glad's Osama Bin Liners; it's a face-retention scheme, I suspect, since the GOP is going to take this seat this fall regardless of whose name is on the Democratic side of the ballot.
