#1 If he gets dumped for this, then there is an appointment and a special election. Keane could win that one because he already has name recognition, and coudl take advantage of "buyers remorse" in NJ. Thats if they arent so unthinkingly stupid as to pull the lever for anything with a (D) beside it (which is a very real possibility).

Irony is that if this does happen, the Repubs get the senate back - and with a lot of pro-gun pro-defense new people in it across the aisle (Webb, etc)

#2 Very little chance, Oldspook -- everybody in NJ knew Menendez was a crook, and the Dems voted for him anyway.

It's now officially a one-party state.

#5 On the bright side, there goes the Dems "Open and Clean Government" campaign slogan.

Really? Odds are that the closer he comes to conviction, the less his party affiliation will be mentioned in stories. Eventually some paper or TV station will make a "mistake" and slap an "(R)" after his name. Then the Democrats will crow about how his removal proves they're cleaning up the corruption.

The press is feeling its oats, realizing just how much help they can provide their chosen party. All they ask in return is a little help -- "campaign finance reform" and the "fairness doctrine".

#7 "..investigators have resumed their inquiry..."
Attourney General Ondulay Gonzales runs a real pro active department! Maybe after the Thanksgiving and Christmas break he will resume the investigation of "Dollar Bill" Jefferson, Criminal LA,...that is if Dennis the Menace Hastert doesn't continue objecting that all Congresscritters are innocent, regardless of cold hard facts in the freezer.
