Torricelli-D had a controversial tenure in the US Senate from 2000 to 2002- he was about to lose re-election in 2002 to Doug Forrester-R, Democrats needed to win that seat to retain control of the US Senate.
Torrecelli-D was forced to dropout and Lautenberg-D became the replacement nominee-he wins the 2002 NJ US Senate Race by a 10 point margin.
Lautenberg-D could have retired again in 2008 and allow Pallone-D to run for that seat.
