Who would have won if Forrester faced Torricelli in 2002?

As I recall, Forrester had a lead in the polls against Torricelli.

[Lincoln Republican]

For New Jersey Senate at the time, Forrester would definitely have defeated the bribery candidate Torricelli.

The Democrats pulled a fast one to get Torricelli replaced by the ancient, yet recognizable, octogenarian Lautenberg, and New Jersey voters actually fell for it.

However, the tactic of putting an over the hill recognizable face on the ballot backfired for the Democrats when they put Mondale on the Senate ballot in Minnesota after the tragic death of Wellstone, when Mondale was beat by Coleman.

It was a new low in politics when the Democrats turned the "memorial" for Wellstone into a political pep rally for the worn out past his political expiry date Mondale.

forrester.  that is why toricelli dropped out at the last minute.

Just wanting to see if anyone would say Torricelli.

Just a question:
If Torricelli was really in hot water and needed to get off the ballot, why didn't he resign?  That is probably the worst part of it.
