In Case You Missed It: Philadelphia Inquirer Endorses Glading for Congress; Attacks Democrats' "Atrocious" Backroom Politics

In Case You Missed It:
Philadelphia Inquirer Endorses Glading for Congress;
Attacks Democrats' "Atrocious" Backroom Politics

Paper calls Andrews' machinations "atrocious";
Glading "most viable candidate in years"

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey's 1st District, today received the endorsement of The Philadelphia Inquirer in the June 3rd Republican primary.

The Inquirer editorial board wrote that Dale Glading "gives GOP voters in the district their most viable candidate in years." ("Editorial: N.J. First District Primary", The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 23, 2008)

The paper, having the 16th largest daily circulation in the United States, also harshly criticized the machine politics of the Andrews family and South Jersey bosses, calling their "scheme" to use Camille Andrews as a placeholder candidate "atrocious."

The paper's editorial board went further to say of the Andrews/Norcross "backroom politics": "Voters want a candidate, not a process that disenfranchises them."

Dale Glading, on the other hand, is running in an open primary and has appeared at public events discussing the issues facing South Jersey voters.

Glading stands in strong opposition to the disenfranchisement of Democrats in South Jersey, and he has risen above party politics to communicate his popular message of lower taxes and real reform.

South Jersey Democrats may not have a real choice on June 3, but Dale Glading gives them a real choice for real change on November 4.

Democrats should remember that when their own party leaders were engaging in "atrocious" backroom dealing, Dale Glading stood alone in truly earning the votes of every South Jerseyan, regardless of party.
