Glading Declares Victory, Prepares for November

who represents their values

BARRINGTON – Dale Glading, candidate for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 1st District, won an overwhelming victory in today’s primary election to determine his party’s nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I want to thank the thousands of voters who went to the polls today and cast their ballots for me,” said Glading, the Republican nominee. “Now it’s on to November.”

“We are ready to take the fight to the career politicians who have failed to represent the people of South Jersey,” Glading added. “My opponents believe that bigger government and higher taxes are the way to go.”

“I disagree wholeheartedly with their assessment,” Glading continued. “New Jersey’s taxes are too high, and it’s time we had a representative in Congress who understands that.”

For now, Glading faces Camille Andrews, wife of two-time failed statewide candidate Rob Andrews. However, party bosses have planned to disenfranchise Democrats throughout the district by replacing Mrs. Andrews on the ballot with a handpicked choice sometime before September 17.

HATFIELD SAYS, ' SHE'S THE BEST'

A new Quinnipiac poll has Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama, 48%-43%: Getty Images Photo
Hillary Clinton's lead in New Jersey has shrunk to just five points and leads Barack Obama 48%-43% among likely Democratic primary voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released this morning. On the Republican side, John McCain leads Mitt Romney 52%-30%.

"Sen. Obama has put together a coalition of blacks and independents to dramatically narrow the gap in just the last few days in New Jersey, but the big question remains: Will there be enough of these new, young, first time voters showing up to pull a surprise on Super Tuesday?" said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

The Quinnipiac poll mirrors one conducted at the end of last week by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg for George Norcross that showed Clinton ahead by six points. Clinton had a 17-point lead in a January 23 Quinnipiac poll, and had been ahead by as much as 34 points late last year.
