Don't mess with Jersey!
New Jersey Primary is Back On!
I blogged a few weeks ago that Republicans had avoided a nasty primary fight in NJ-03. Oops! Looks like I spoke to soon. 2008 candidate Justin Murphy announced his candidacy last week.
Murphy was quick to attack his Republican opponent, ex-Philadelphia Eagle Jon Runyan, for lacking “substance” and coming late to the game, “while he's been a registered Republican for three months, I've been a registered Republican for 30 years." He plans to attack Runyan from the right. Sounds like it could get nasty.
Whoever wins will face freshman Rep. John Adler (D) who was endorsed by Council for a Livable World in 2008.
