Jeb to Scotus: Thanks But No Thanks
One of the things that may prevent a Republican sweep is Torecceli's withdrawl from the race. According to the New Republic

Democrats are in a win-win (or, rather, win-win-win) situation when it comes to New Jersey: Either the U.S. Supreme Court will refuse to hear the case, in which case the state Supreme Court ruling stands and Frank Lautenberg is the Democratic candidate. Or the U.S. Supreme Court hears the case and rules in favor of the Democrats, which is possibly even better since it arms Lautenberg with the high court's imprimatur. Or the Court hears the case and rules against the Democrats, in which case you can expect turnout among the Democratic rank-and-file, a group still stewing over the 2000 election, to go through the roof, assuring Democrats control of the Senate and possibly even handing them the House.

Which is certainly good news. Now, if only the Dens could show an ounce of toughness when dealing with Bush, rather then let his tomfoolery go unopposed.
