Menendez was the very last-minute stand in for Bob Torricelli a corrupt NJ politician who had to drop out of his Senate race. The Dems brought Menendez out of retirement. They knew he had a lot of baggage but he was their best bet to retain the seat.
It was clear that Torcelli was going to lose so at the last moment Torcelli dropped out and the Democrats trotted out Menendez.
Menendez's daughter is hot.....she's a poltical activist....take a looky lou below.
