Re: Sen Frank Lautenberg dies

And rather than take the reins and put forward a replacement, Christie chickens out and calls for a special election.

Did he choose this path because:
1. That's what Obama wanted or
2. Because appointing a replacement directly (R or D) would risk a political backlash that might hurt his reelection chances. or
3. All of the above.

Christie: All bark, no bite.

Re: Sen Frank Lautenberg dies

On a related note, another anti-2A legislator will be out of Congress for a while.
NY Rep. Carolyn McCarthy is undergoing treatment for lung cancer.

You might recall Ms. McCarthy as the legislator that coined the phrase "the shoulder thing that goes up", when asked to define a "barrel shroud". :roll:
While I sincerely do wish her a speedy recovery, I hope she finds a better reason to retire soon.
