Talk is cheap but now it's put up or shut up. (enough cliches? It seems that republican N.J. governor Chris Christie has done all he could to blow smoke up the president's ass and now it's show time. Will republican Christie appoint a democrat to replace democrat Frank Lautenburg who just died or will he do the right thing and appoint a republican to upset the delicate democrat party majority in the US senate?
Whoever he picks is up for reelection in 2014 right?
Might not be a bad idea to appoint a fiscally conservative dem (if such a creature exist anymore). I'd prefer a Libertarian but dream on eh. Whoever he picks he will catch Hell witch will be fun to watch.

Apparently there are a few different conflicting election laws - but from what I've heard, Christie can appoint someone to serve until this November, when an election will be held.
Then, in 2014 the seat comes up for election again, in it's normal rotation.
So whoever Christie appoints will run in 2013, then again in 2014.

Makes sense. With the voters getting their say (twice) in relatively short time, this all seems much ado about not very much.
That being the case, I believe Christie would do himself a lot of good finding a well funded Republican with half a chance at winning in NJ and give that person a big head start.

I would say that Newark Mayor Cory Booker is almost a lock for that seat.
He's already announced his intention to run for the seat, it's unclear whether he'll run this year, or wait until next year like he originally planned.
The temporary appointment won't get Christie off the hook. It's an interesting conundrum that the mainstream (liberal) media seems to be ignoring so far. Maybe they figure if they don't put Christie on the spot he can get away with appointing a democrat.

A fiscally conservative Democrat or another moderate Republican would be his best choices at this point. Either way he will receive criticism. Such is politics.
Christie's only choice is a republican. If he appoints a democrat he is finished politically.

Ever drive through Newark? Democrat mayors don't give a crap about the cities they represent just like democrat senators don't give a crap about the Constitution they represent. Maybe the liberal media is giving Christie some breathing room to appoint a democrat. If he does he might as well run next time as a democrat.
