Myers raised $369k last quarter, not counting Bush visit
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterThird District Republican congressional candidate Chris Myers raised $369,224 last quarter and has $287,832 on hand, according to Campaign Manager Chris Russell.
That sum does not account for the likely large cash infusion that came from President George W. Bush’s visit to New Jersey last month to raise money for him and fellow Republican House candidate Leonard Lance. Although the fundraiser took place last quarter, the campaign did not receive its share of the proceeds until after September 30th.
Myers' total raised so far is just shy of the million dollar mark, at $995,773 – much of which he had to spend in his contentious primary against Ocean County Freeholder Jack Kelly.
Democratic rival John Adler’s campaign has not released their fundraising totals yet, but as of last quarter he had the largest war chest of any open seat challenger in the country, with $1.46 million on hand.

Ouch
That won't put him on tv.
Let's See...
$550,000 (my guess once the Bush money is counted) plus a slew of other fundraisers. Figure about $750K to spend - not including NRCC support.
And Myers has been up on cable in OC for awhile.
Yeah, I guess with 3/4 of a million plus NRCC support, not much going on.
Anywho, are you and John looking for his testimony? How about helping figure out which law partner's job benefited from Adler's slush fund? Need any help? Just give me a ring. Probably in the garage behind the decorations.
Cable?!
Cable is a joke. I'm sorry, but even the money that Myers has gotten from his political hero and mentor won't help him at this point. Over the last week he's gone even more negative,offering nothing substantive and even going as far as attacking the VFW . Whining and coming up with constant point plans won't help a constituency that has been plagued the last eight years by a President that has destroyed our economy.He'll be back at his job at Lockheed come Nov.5th.
Adler cash advantage: massive
Adler has over $1.2 million cash-on-hand, with commercials to air non-stop from now until 4 Nov., two new field organizers from 21st Century Democrats, constant recognition from DCCC and over $1 million ad buys (in likelihood, from $1.7 million) probably left from them -- and Myers, if one takes away the $50k that Myers lent from his own personal account to keep his cash-strapped campaign afloat and adds another $100k from Bush, has less than $300k left in the bank. This is unimpressive, no matter whom one supports in this congressional race.

Apparently you didn't read the article. Myers doesn't have $750K to spend.
He has $287,832 to spend.
Myers is not on TV
Myers is not on TV, Freedom Watch has one stupid ad up that no one is seeing. LOL NRCC, support, they have done like 2-3 mailers for Myers, I would hardly classify that as quality support. They have given up on this race just like Myers has. Myers doesn't even have enough money to run a week of broadcast in Philly. Put this one in the bag for Adler.
Ouch?
There are already ads up ripping Adler and his illegal slush fund. Once again, you cannot go one post without lying. And duuuuudddde - cable is joke, bro? Ummm I think not. You apparently have no clue about campaigns. Sucking up too much salt water again? One stupid ad? This is the second one they have put up and expect more from other organizations. But I love how these NRCC insiders continue to say they won't get involved and then are proven wrong - usually a week later. And two field organizers from the 21st Century Dems? Coordination between a PAC and a campaign. Hmmmmmmm, this one could be just another shoe to hit Adler on the head. When will this guy learn?
You're right I must be
You're right I must be sucking up too much salt water because I definatly read another article with Myers attacking the VFW...oh wait,he did. Some friend of the veterans he is,praises them until he doesn't get his way then its all tantrum from there.Guess that's one organization that won't be putting up an ad for Myers.

Please provide a link to the story you reference. otherwise I have no way to verufy if you are telling the truth.
Link?
Right, just like all the times you link your references to stories.
Wait, you don't do that!
What stories would you like
What stories would you like me to reference? You have never called me out on any of them. I think my question was a fair question.
Only every day
You've gotten called out for not referencing anything you say, almost every day. Anyone who's been following this race on politicker can attest to that?
This coming from
This coming from one the lying three stooges? Unfortunately, you, too, cannot seem to find any story which I need to cite. I will be happy to cite my sources.
