1. The special election has date specific rules. Better Oct, than waiting til 2014

One election has nothing to do with the other.

(and CC could have held off calling for a special, at which time he could have demanded the interim remain til 2014,
so it is far better to get Cory Booker into the seat, then have him as Senate get out the vote in November.

And it would be far better too if the minor other candidates would quit the race, but the party bosses in NJ
don't control Cory Booker, so they don't want him to easily win.
Cory is NOT beholden to the bosses, and its time to show the bosses the door and get Cory seated, as Cory is the people's candidate.
