Adler raises $600k

Adler carried over a bunch of money from the federal account he established years ago.  He didn't raise $610k.

Adler is going to need more money than that to explain why he tried to ban Columbus Day from being taught in New Jersey schools.

His presence at a Mosque openning in Cherry Hill the day before Terrorists got arrested at Fort Dix doesn't help him either.

Luckily you don't live in the 3rd.  First of all, get it right.  If you are going to tout the endorsement, it is the Recreational Fishing Alliance.  And "highly coveted"?  Are you serious?   You obviously know nothing about the district or the RFA.  The RFA will provide some funding to Adler but the rank and file are already upset with the leadership and James Donofrio's decision to endorse a liberal from Camden County.  Moreover, the group has been highly critical of many of the environmental groups which you believe will back Adler.  I am not so sure having talked with some members.  A primary may be avoided, but even if it is not, there will be plenty of money going into the Myers campaign.  The defense industrial base which supports upwards of 70,000 families in the District, not to mention the veterans in the District who are still angry about the Adler bill to end teaching our children the meaning behind Veterans Day and Memorial Day, will be soldily behind the Myers campaign.
And if Novak had ever been to the District or even talked to someone from the istrict, then I'd be worried about his opinion.

Indeed, "theoc," do you even live in the state, let alone the district? What gives you any authority on this matter, besides your myopic defense of Republican corruption? As someone who has had Sen. Adler as my state senator for years, I can attest to his strengths as a senator and his ability to lead in Washington. From his bill to get pensions revoked for corrupt public officials to his shepherding of major environmental bills through the senate, Adler has proven he is candidate who would be ideal for district-03 voters. And, yes, the Recreational [my sic] Fishing Alliance endorsement is a big deal and helps shore up support in the eastern part of the district. Adler's work on the pot reliefs bill, I think, helped ensure this early endorsement. And stop being intellectually dishonest about Adler not wanting enforced teaching of holidays mandated at the state level as being somehow "anti-military." That's as equally sad as it is pathetic to accuse him of being. Much of the military has turned against the President and his failed policies in Iraq, so I wouldn't count the military-industrial complex against Adler.

To say that Kelly and Myers are behind in the fundraising race at this point would probably be an understatement. From any objective standard, Adler has positioned himself well in this race already.

I did not say in my last post that Adler was anti-military, but if the shoe fits.  And read the bill I referenced.  The Adler bill would end the mandate that requires the teaching of the significance of Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day as well as others.  That is how we teach our children about our history and heritage as a Nation?  Rendering the sacrifices of generations past as insignificant is not the answer.  The veteran groups in the District and in Washington, DC are rallying around ABA - Anyone But Adler.  They will have a larger impact than say the RFA.  It is confirmed.  You are clueless about the District.  The RFA endorsement means nothing.  The rank and file who I know very well will work against their own organization's endorsement.  So much for coveted.  And your comment that "much" of the military has turned on the President's policies is ridiculous.  Once again, you make things up to make your argument.  Talk to them for a change - and not a friend of a friend of a penpal.  The majority of the men and women in uniform believe in what they are doing in Iraq.  They see the surge working and are changing things there.  So much so, Rep. Murtha came out and said the surge was working.  Talk about dishonest.  You have made it a common occurrence in every post you paste on here.  Finally to compare someone who has had a federal campaign open since 2003 and someone who has not even declared as a candidate is intellectual dishonest.  But it doesn't surprise me.

Beyond your photos, please stay away from attempts to be funny. Where exactly does your knowledge of the RFA come from? Is that a tackle box strapped around your shoulder? Where exacty do Asselta and McCullough's districts intersect with the 3rd Congressional (I'm assuming that would be there relevance in this debate)? Sorry if I'm whining. By the way, did you know that NJ03 is a previously held Republican seat? At least you admit we are good at holding on to those. Best of luck running another Camden County machine candidate in BurlCo, they've had great success in the past! 
P.S.- Sharpless isn't even a word. 

The serious answer to your question is that money was transfered from his Senatorial account - roughly 200-250k which would account for the high number.  580k is a good chuck of change to have on hand. I am not disputing that.  But as a previous poster mentioned - he had a campaign account open for several years anticipating a Lautenberg retirement.

don't forget about Saxton's million plus warchest!

Martin is a tool!

I have worked with Jim Donofrio and the RFA for many years in different capacities and have heard the same things described in the previous post. The dues paying members are upset that Jim and Bob Healey have decided to endorse Sen. Adler. I have spoken with a few in NJ and more groups associated with them in DC. I expected this endorsement having spoken with Jim in recent weeks/months, but I was very surprised at the timing. To me, the timing was way too early and will not be productive for the RFA. But Jim thinks the dollars he can raise will make a difference. I will beg to differ. While Jim is a good guy, he overextends himself at times and promises more than he can deliver. Personal knowledge here.

This race will be the best thing that ever happened. As Norcross spends most of his money on this losing battle he will have little left to "infect" other districts. The 3rd district wants nothing to do with Camden County.

 Once again, Martin stirs the pot with his sauce of total entertainment value, nonsence and wishes.

 Let me set some facts for the record:

 FACT:  Adler is not known or really cared about in Burlington or Ocean Counties.

FACT:  Myers has the backing, power and experience behind him of working for the largest So Jersey Firm that likes to keep working. Translation: Adler has come out against military action and defense. He is totally against the use of force and would love to see us as little sheep being led to the slaughter. Those 70,000 plus families working for Lockheed will  not stand for that and already ready for battle.

FACT: Marty, your little friend little Richey LOST! It dosent MATTER HOW MUCH HE SPENT, HE LOST BY 6,000 VOTES! You can call Diane a GOP Darling but this darling beat his butt IN A DISTRICT THAT IS PRIMARILY DEMOCRATIC! What happened? Little Richey as well as any other dem sacrifical lambs do not have the experience or clout to take Diane down.  I guess your precious democrats didnt buy your brand of snake oil either.

FACT:  You swore that the GOP in the 8th would lose BIG TIME and your pithy little sayings and rants obvioulsy fell flat too. Haines bested Bodine by over 10,000 votes, Riley and Fifis got spanked as well too! My goodness, Ms Riley could not even WIN HER HOME town !

FACT:  your hatred of GOP only makes them stronger and your hatred of anyone not agreeing with you is only a bigger diservice to yourself. 

At the end of the day, you will keep ranting and spinning, yet you have not been able to back up any of your predictions or any of your opinions one iota; Adler will get a spanking like Susan Levin did back a few years ago. Remember, all the money Norcross put into the campaigns of the dems in Burlco failed! Adler's constant lets have tea and dialogue theory with terrorists and his lack of support for our military is already his undoing. 

More Cowbell Please !!

Martin, With all due respect you can't really be actually using the charge of Myers being connected to Layton/Paulsen and completely forget to mention the Norcross connection with Adler. There is no "holier then thou" attitude here.

As far as any endorsement, I don't live in this district so I won't guess at the weight of the one endorsement Adler has, but it's rather strange any legitimate organization would endorse him considering they do not even know who his opponent will be yet.

You do make a good point though when stating that the Republican nominee will probably be a little damaged by what could be a divisive primary. This does give Adler an advantage since he won't have a primary opponent.
