Runyan 'seriously considering' running for Congress

Adler vs Runyan: A Cage Match for Congress!

Running scared... about to get tackled.

"I am grateful for the tremendous support and encouragement I have received while talking to people throughout South Jersey about running for Congress" What "people" has he talked to? A handful of Camden/Burlington machine politicians. When he goes to Toms River to kiss George Gilmore's ring I might begin to take him serious. I've seen him do those dumb commercials for car dealers and he's not very good at that. He was over-hyped as a player because he knew how to suck-up to the media. And it's not like he's well-known like Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook or Andy Reid. I hope he does run. He won't get anywhere in Ocean County not only because he's not one of Gilmore's stooges but most football fans in OC follow the Jets/Giants. Adler has his base in Camden/Burlington locked up whether Runyon runs or not.

Runyan was one of the dirtiest punks ever to play in the NFL.  He's an intellectually challenged bully with little experience other than blocking and tackling overgrown adolescents.

Run Myers again.  He's a decent, intelligent veteran who would be a credit to NJ politics. 

Snake Pliskin?  I heard you were dead.

A scummy worm from Norcross Country, the only pads he has ever worn are on his knees. Perfect for Cherry Hill Dems, not the rest of the district.

Considering the guy is nothing more than a glorified student council president that slipped past the electorate in 2008, I'd say this is one overgrown adolescent Runyan won't have any trouble with.

Adler is going to have trouble with any candidate the gop runs. With Runyan's name id Adler should be scared. It's just a shame that Runyan is being taken advantage of by the corrupt burl co gop machine. Runyan probably wants to run to make a difference but does not know the truth about what really goes on in Burl Co.

The dirty little secret in Ocean County is that there really is no organization. Republican turnout just happens, so George really does nothing but take credit for what happens on Election Day.

If Adler can't pull big marins out of Burlington, he's TOAST! Runyan just kills him!!

Adler's disappointing vote on health care in Congress is likely to hurt him next year in the general election. His no vote likely won't bring him any republican or independent votes and it certainly won't endear democrats to him, especially considering his prominent touting of his support for healthcare reform. Republicans will go after him for waffling on the issue and not being credible with his position. Liberal democrats will likely challenge him in a primary because of his no vote, weakening him further for the general. I think his seat likely goes back into the R category next year.

"With Runyan's name id Adler should be scared." What name? Nobody in Ocean County knows or remembers who he is, and most football fans watch the Jets or Giants. Even Eagle fans wouldn't know or care very much about him except for the fact that he was over-hyped by his buddies in the media because he knew how to suck up to them. He really looked stupid on those commercials he did for some local car dealership. I doubt if he ever sold one car from it. He is boring and unimpressive, and everytime he came on Comcast to schmooze with his reporter buddies I changed the channel. Intellectually he makes Sarah Palin look like Madame Curie. He'll be a disaster the moment he gets up before all those senior citizens living in retirement villages and tries to explain to them how he will protect their social security and medicare benefits.
