Wilson will be 'sickened' if NRCC doesn't spend money in District 3

Tom Wilson may be sickened when the NRCC doesn't give any money to Chris Myers, but he certainly won't be surprised. This race has been over since June 30, when the FEC reports showed John Adler's $1.4 million cash-on-hand to Myers's mere $155,000.

The Sierra Club, NJ PBA, NJ FOP, Professional Firefighters Association of NJ, Teamsters, and RFA have all endorsed Adler in this district. Last time, they all supported Jim Saxton. That doesn't even include the AFL-CIO, the UAW, the American Nurses Association, or so many business groups. The NRCC is bright enough to know where to fight and where to best spend its resources. They're giving NJ-3 to the Dems.

What is Tom Wilson smoking? John Adler has been raising money since 1994? Sure, he was thinking about running for Senate in like 2003, but 1994, cmon Tommy, you are the State Chairman and you don't even know your facts.

The NRCC already has two ad buys nationally almost 18 million dollars, and NJ-3 is no where to be found. National R's have given up on Chris "the economy is basically strong" Myers, because they along with the Ocean County Republicans know he can't win!

No one is paying attention to either of these races. They are both ten day campaigns. If either Republican can find a way to distinguish themselves from the Democrat and get that message on network TV for a week they will win.

That's a big if. But if they can't, it's their own fault -- not the Nationals. Both Myers and Lance are running against ultra-liberals with 100 percent pro-Corzine/pro-McGreevey voting records. With Corzine's negatives, there's no excuse for either Republican being behind in these normally safe Republican districts.

Hence is the legacy of the dying liberal wing of the Republican Party.

With Camden and Burlington in the Philly media market and Ocean in the NY media market, this is one of the most expensive districts in the country. You think Chris Myers can conduct an effective television and radio campaign with his campaign fundraising? Chris Myers could be sitting at home all day and he'd only be doing slightly poorer in fund raising. Maybe he'll be able to afford a couple 30 second spots in between the Oxyclean and George Foreman Grill infomercials around 4 am.

But seriously, the district's makeup has changed drastically in the last decade. Gore won in 2000 in NJ-3 and Kerry lost by a couple points. Jim Saxton continued to win by large margins because he was an influential congressman with very high Voter ID and campaign coffers. None of these things describe Chris Myers.

The fact is if the NRCC believed what you said, Mountaintop, they would have let everyone know they consider this race at least somewhat of a priorty. There are simply no indications that the Nat'l Republicans or Jim Saxton thinks Chris Myers has much of a chance of winning.

It's not hard to see the writing on the wall. No one ever said you had to like it, but I'm sure you can see it.

I love the fact that the same people post the same lies constantly on these forums. First, we have the NRCC insiders who "know" that the NRCC will not get involved in this race. You know nothing. Second, we have phony claims of endorsements - the Teamsters never endorsed Saxton. In fact many of those same groups have endorsed Saxton opponents. Moreover, keep praising that endorsement from the RFA. That wonderful group has many skeletons in its closet and they will come out. It just so happens that many of its board members have quit in protest of James Donofrio unilateral selection of Adler - the "liberal Camden County hack" as one of the members called him. Furthermore, I love how those on this board claim to be close enough to Jim Saxton and the Ocean County GOP to know what they are thinking and doing. You are clueless. Keep it up though. I am enjoying the tall tales.

There is a huge difference between "endorsing" a candidate and contributing. Unfortunately you do not know the difference. Saxton was not endorsed by the national Teamsters union, much like he was not endorsed by the national AFL-CIO. Was he supported by many of the locals? Yes. But the national endorsement did not accompany the contribution. Now, the definition of a lie according to the American Heritage Dictionary is:1.A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression. The posters on this board who state that the NRCC, Jim Saxton and the Ocean County GOP giving up or not assisting Chris Myers constitutes a lie because they have or are assisting Chris Myers. For those who state that the NRCC has decided not to provide funding to the 3rd District race are not providing information are not in a position to make those claims. They have not been involved in meetings with the NRCC. So why should anyone believe them or you? Good luck with that.

I think you need to call Saxton's communications director because he sure as hell claimed he had the Teamster's endorsement in 2006

Right now most reasonable people assume the NRCC has not committed significant financial resources to Myers because in two national press releases announcing financial commitments to house races, Myers hasn't been included. You want us to believe the NRCC has the intention to commit significant financial resources to this race, but not take advantage of the help they would do by announcing it. If you think there is a realistic chance of that happening, you'll be waiting for it long past Nov. 4.

If I am mistaken about the Teamsters than I apologize. However, I was given that information by the very same office a little while ago. But the National Teamsters do not endorse candidates? Another lie. You guys are good at it. The Teamsters Union lead by Jimm Hoffa Jr certainly does make endorsements. He has even threatened Members who do not vote his way.

Records on Trade Issues Will Factor Strongly in Endorsements

WASHINGTON, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa today told Members of Congress that the Teamsters Union is closely watching the upcoming votes on unfair trade agreements with Chile and Singapore. Hoffa made the remarks at a press conference in the Capitol with Members of Congress who also oppose trade deals that harm American working families.

And liberal partisan oc, you are too bush league to get me red in the face.

Now, I can sit there and look at the DCCC numbers and say, well they have contributed to XX candidate so they must have given up. But I don't because I do not know for a fact that they will not. You guys seem to have some insider knowledge that the NRCC is not getting involved. Who told you that information? If you cannot prove it then it is a lie. I go back to the definition of the word. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression. You have made the word your own.

I am over the age of 5. The phrase to which you "paraphrase" me hasn't come out of my mouth in nearly 40 years. But I will leave the juvnile quotes to you. Congrats on reaching the first grade level of comebacks. Your mom will be proud. Now as for your butchering of the definition of lie, as in lying, your attempts to justify your continued lying is getting tiresome. Your comments fit the definition - A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression just to remind you - perfectly. Your insistence that the NRCC will not assist is false despite your pronouncements to the contrary. Your comments are an attempt to deceive or give the wrong impression. Congratulations on becoming the poster boy or girl for the word lie. At least someone (you) believes the lies you are spreading.

That's borderline shameful: Saxton dumps another $400k in the NRCC coffers, and they don't even make the gesture of giving a few bucks to Myers.

Perhaps the reason that Wilson, who possibly has the worst losing record of any state party chairman in recent history, wants money for BurlCo is because of his Strategy Group connections?

Currently, it's the rule of attrition. The NRCC is cash-strapped, Myers hasn't done anything to help himself with his awful fundraising numbers, and only so many districts can be defended while going after a handful of Dems (Lampson, Mahoney, Carney). The smart money is on the national Republicans giving up on either Lance or Myers (if not both) -- and soon. Dark days ahead, New Jersey Republicans; very dark, indeed.

Wilson probably was already told by the NRCC that NJ-3 is out of play. So he's just fighting the inevitable.

as of tonight it is dead even with a slight edge to McCain /Palin

Adler is out of touch with the every guy, and Myers has been here campainging instead of flitting around like a gadfly ala Adler at the RNC.
