Sounds like he just told both parties to pound sand.. He's not appointing anyone (to a perm seat), holding a special election.
With a primary run off!
Not sure that I can hate him anymore.

Not sure what to think about it, but I still think he's a blowhard. I don't mind a politician speaking their mind (it's quite refreshing actually), but I recall times in the past he's gotten defensive because people've done the same back at him. If you can't take it, don't dish it.
He's taking the middle road. He would piss off the Dems and most of the voting NJ population by appointing an R, or he would piss off the Rs by appointing a Dem.
Now his hands are washed, and it's "up to the people" (as well as their outside interests).
If he's not for us, he's against us. He was a fat Democrat with a mouthful of Obama's ass before all this happened. Now he's a wishy-washy, fat Democrat with a mouthful of ass.
No, he just told the GOP to pound sand. The chances of a Republican winning that seat are 1000 to one and he knows it.
He didn't have the balls to appoint a Republican (which is what most Republican governors would do in this situation) because he's afraid the leftist run media won't love him anymore. He didn't have the balls to appoint a Democrat (which is what he really wanted to do) because he's afraid that would prevent him from being the next GOP loser presidential candidate.
So he's giving the Dems exactly what they want while pretending to be above partisanship.
He's a coward.
So I'm sure I can hate him even more after this.
He installed a Republican: http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/...US--NJ.Senate/
