It's all about the money for Layton

It's becoming clearer by the day that Burlington County GOP chairman Bill Layton and his boss Glenn Paulsen don't really care where Jon Runyan stands on the issues, they're just seeing dollar signs:

"Adler's been raising money for a year. That's why Jon Runyan is a game changer for us. He has the ability to raise just as much money as John Adler," Layton said. "I clearly think that out of all the candidates, Jon Runyan is our best chance to take back the 3rd District."

You see it doesn't matter where Runyan stands on anything as long as he has the money to get the GOP back the power they had and lost. While Layton is clearly looking for a handout, George Gilmore doesn't seem intimidated by the fundraising challenge that Adler presents without a self funding candidate. This is going to be a reporters dream with Layton and Gilmore not wanting the other to get the last word. I'm amazed someone higher up in the Republican party hasn't stepped up to tell them keep their fights outside of the media. It really seems like the up front aggressive approach taken by Layton and Runyan is making Gilmore want to fight more, just out of protecting his reputation. Not that I mind. Let them spend all their money fighting about money.

San Diego in Post-season (0.00 / 0)

The Charges have a bye week so the earliest Runyan can start campaigning and raise money is mid-January.

Gilmore's playing hard-to-get so Runyan will have to cough up more of his own money to contribute to the Ocean County Republican Organization as well as Gilmore's candidates (ie. stooges) in county and municipal races.

Will he need to raise money though (0.00 / 0)

or will he self finance. I agree he has to wait to really campaign until the season ends, but I have heard of trips he has taken back to attend local meetings around the district at times.
