"I know Jon, he's a good guy," Adler said.

But Adler was blunt about the prospect of Runyan outspending him in an election.

"It is always worrisome when someone has a lot of money and is willing to write a big check to help buy an election," Adler said.

When asked by Mike Jerrick if Runyan would buy the election, Adler denied meaning that.

"Not buying. He could spend a lot of money. That would be a factor with elections," he said.

Adler went as far as to compare Runyan to ousted Democratic governor Jon Corzine.

"We've seen that in New Jersey in the past, Jon Corzine did it a couple of times."
