    Dogma

    Early in the election, Democrats accused New Jersey senatorial candidate Doug Forrester of putting the heat on Torricelli's unethical conduct instead of focusing on the issues. But since the US Supreme Court has cleared the way for Lautenberg, what's Forrester's strategy now? On the other side of the river, Carl McCall's campaign is up against a very well-funded Pataki and the comptroller's ratings seem to be slipping. McCall will discuss why he's the better man for the job.
