Douglas R. Forrester now says the chief reason for his loss by a wide margin in the race for New Jersey governor is President Bush’s unpopularity.
The same could be said for our loss of national prestige.

How ironic. Now they`re playing the blame game with themselves.
Hahaha.
Wonder who they learned that from? (Follow the leader?)
I like this. Heh.
Here have some help:

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., (NYT – David W. Chen) Nov. 11 — Three days after his party suffered a decisive loss in the New Jersey governor’s race, the chairman of the state’s Republican Party suggested on Friday that it would be difficult though not impossible to win a statewide election in the foreseeable future.
Tom Wilson, the chairman, said several factors were at work against the party, which has not had one of its statewide candidates win since 1997. He said his party faced inherent disadvantages, noting that New Jersey has 270,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans and that the state’s Democratic Party has more financial resources.
On Friday, in what has become an annual tradition, the Princeton Public Affairs Group, a prominent lobbying firm, called for the equivalent of a political truce by inviting legislators and officials from both campaigns to a luncheon to offer postmortem analysis.
For both parties, the next big political battle will be the race for Mr. Corzine’s Senate seat.
The Republicans appear to be unified behind State Senator Thomas H. Kean Jr., son of the popular former governor. Some Democratic members of Congress have already expressed interest or said they were planning to run in the 2006 election.
Governor-elect Corzine was asked again on Friday whom he will appoint to serve the final year of his Senate term. The occasion was his appearance at a meeting of the Black Ministers’ Council of New Jersey in Newark, an event that also attracted two of the contenders for the Senate seat, Representatives Robert Menendez, of Hudson County, and Frank Pallone Jr., of Monmouth County.
Mr. Corzine said he would pick someone, probably in the next few weeks, with “character, someone who has a proven track record and is committed to excellence, someone who has the capacity to organize, finance and run a good campaign and be articulate about progressive ideas.”
Another contender for the seat, Representative Robert E. Andrews of Camden County, delivered a policy speech at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison on Friday that he billed as an opening salvo in his run for the Senate.
One thing to watch for, perhaps as early as next week, is a recommendation for that Senate pick from the Rev. Reginald T. Jackson, the executive director of the Black Ministers’ Council.

I am so glad you are here with us, btw…hugs
You are definately a plus to have here and thanks for your information always.
Right I remember now…creve coeur…Now I remember you from dkos…great stuff over there too. It is all making sense now.
I absolutely agree with your feelings here. Oui is always informed and I love to read the items brought to the table always by him/her.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Live by the lie, die by the lie.
Yeah Bush’s unpopularity and the “peripheral” fact that this was one of the ugliest campaigns ever. Too funny.
The Repugs have been loyal to Bush to this point in time. They could afford to be, hanging on his coat tails. Now, ’06 is looming and the polls are dropping for Bushboy! They know they need to distance themselves now or lose their seat and majority.
The ants go marching one by one hurrah, hurrah!
like a wet diaper hanging down.
Doncha love it – all the repubs know how to do is blame somebody else and it is sweet that they are now using Dubya as the scapegoat!
“Like a wet diaper”.
OMGLMAOROTF! That is one of the funniest lines I have read in a long time. Thanks for the laugh!
of my desire to be a U.S. citizen and the loss of sleep! It is all his fault!
sanitorium bailed on a W appearance here in PA last week. but W may have equally not wanted to be seen with crazy ricky.
… You see another republican blaming someone else.
So much for the conservative “value” of taking responsibility for your actions.
It’s simply amazing,
You screw average citizens everyday to favor the rich and you kill a couple thousand troops and several thousand Iraqis and voila, your poll numbers fall.
Let’s remember this is Nov. 05, not 06. We can’t let GW get off the hook in the next 12 months, no matter what he tries. I’ve got a hunch he is going to try a lot.
One way I’d consider letting him off the hook: If he and all of his cronies resigned.
I am very interested in this
