In relation to the whole Torricelli disaster, all I can keep saying is "What an idiot!" It's nice that he finally realized that the seat in the Senate was more important than just him as an individual. But to realize it so late in the game and to now go through the whole mess that that's created is a bit much. I want a Democrat elected from New Jersey to the U.S. Senate. I want a Democrat elected to the Senate from every state. But Torricelli could have "helped" us out a while back rather than waiting so long. In these respects, I must agree with this article on the matter. When are politicians going to realize that they represent us in their seats, that these seats are for the people and the people work hard, pray hard, and hope for the most that the seats will be represented appropriately on issues that matter to them? When are politicians going to realize its not just about themselves and their resumes? I'm not happy with what happened with him and I don't know all the details; what I do know is that this seat is more important than just his personality and he waited too long to do the "right" thing.
