Wow, did you see Adler's warchest?

John Adler’s fundraising numbers are impressive: he’s brought in nearly $1.2 million so far as the Democratic candidate for an open congressional seat that has been held by the Republicans since 1882.  This kind of early fundraising success will help Adler grow his warchest exponentially as he competes in one of the nation’s premier House races – the fight for Jim Saxton’s seat.  Adler is expected to be unopposed in the Democratic primary.

The Republican candidates have not yet disclosed their first quarter fundraising numbers, but several weeks ago, Christopher Myers indicated that he had raised about $275,000, while Jack Kelly said he had brought in about $200,000.
