1. A "liberal Republican"?

A moderate Republican, I think.

2. He will nominate Tom Kean Jr. in all likelihood.

3. He will name a sandwich. Because he is really, really hungry.

5. Some have said he could 'play it safe' by...

...naming Lautenberg's widow.

6. That's the smartest thing to do--questions to be answered are, is she willing and will he do it? nt

7. I'm much more eager

For a special election.


You realize this issue has been with our State Gov and it was brought up again after Kennedy died? IIRC - our House and Senate did nothing with it - in spite of the fact that Christie said if they sent it to him (elections only in the event of one of our Fed Rep's deaths) - he would sign off on it.


I want a special election toute suite. The sooner the better.


But - if I were to guess - he won't be appointing anyone that is not either Priebus or Rove approved. That does not bode well for us.

8. Donald Trump
