Frank the fossil
Frank the fossil is hiding from having to make a tough decision, that's pretty much his MO.
When he degraded Millicent Fenwick in 1982 that negative attack on age is now coming back to haunt the fossil.
The fossil is worried that Corzine's toll scheme will backfire on him the way Florio's $1.8 billion dollar tax hike damaged Bill Bradley's re-election to a then nobody, former Freeholder Christie Todd Whitman of Somerset County.
The fossil is paranoid. Afraid of the collection of "wanna-be" senators who seem to be chasing him with shovels everytime he passes a cemetery (some Dangerfield humor)!
Lautenberg is more vulnerable in a primary than in the general election and he knows it.
Like his predecessor Clifford Case, who lost a primary to conservative Jeff Bell in 1978, Lautenberg would lose a primary to Pallone, Andrews or Rothman if they had the stones to challenge him.
I completely agree.
I completely agree. Lautenberg is supposed to be representing New Jersey. How can he do so if he hasn't even decided for himself who to support. This is just another example of how Lautenberg needs to realize that he has done a good job in office but his time is up. Some just need to stop fighting that fact that their role is over. Its part of life. There are many others who can do a better job in seat now. THere is a new era arising and Lauternberg is not part of it. (to Lautenrbeg: you HAVE done a fine job, but its time to give someone else a tern). Thanks for listening,

Also, if he is so
Also, if he is so indecisive, what makes him so good for New Jersey. THe people have voted Lautenberg is losing. He acts is though he is above the rest. Also, polls and interviews have shown how New Jersey believes that Lautenberg should not run. Apparently, Lautenrberg doesn't care. But I don't know how much he will care when he doesn't win majority vote. That can't make him feel that good. Why can't he just stop while he's ahead. At this rate this might evening being the turning point for the Republican side, for there might be a chance that they will win if Lautenberg decides to run. This is definetly going to be a sad era for New Jersey
