Corzine Selects Menendez to Replace Him in Senate
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/09/nyregion/09cnd-menendez.html?hp&ex=1134190800&en=c440a389408a76ef&ei=5094&partner=homepage


In his first major decision after being elected governor of New Jersey, Jon S. Corzine announced the selection of a Hudson County congressman to replace him in the United States Senate. Robert Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants who became a lawyer then rose in the brass-tacks world of New Jersey politics, will fill Mr. Corzine's old post for at least a year, when he will face what may be a crowded run for re-election

2. The most admirable Senator would have been Rush Holt.
Menendez was a political choice. Holt would have been the good governance choice.

This is not to say that Menendez is a bad guy; he's just not the best guy.
