...going to lose. In a reprise of Election 2000, it fell to the courts--including the Supremes--to decide whether this is a legal way to play the game. But Torricelli's decision was the first good news the Democrats have had in weeks, since his designated replacement, Frank Lautenberg, a three-term Senate veteran, brings lots of advantages.
