An excerpt...
"News of subpoenas at a non-profit group tied to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez set Democratic insiders buzzing Friday about whether to repeat the "2002 switcheroo" that replaced a wounded candidate with a winner in the final weeks of the campaign.
"It's not at the point where party leaders are saying to Bob, 'You gotta get out,' but it could get that way fast," one insider said by phone from a party conference in Atlantic City where Menendez called the subpoenas politically motivated.
"It's all the buzz down here: Are we going to go back to the switcheroo? Can we?" he said.
But the answer, several Democrats said, appears to be "no."
The same factor that made Menendez the odds-on favorite to replace Governor Corzine in January -- a huge campaign bankroll that totaled $7.4 million on June 30 -- could be what keeps him in the race to the end." |
