1) John Adler, Democrat, New Jersey's 3rd District ($1 million)
Adler, a state senator, had spent a small percentage of his total receipts - $169,000 out of $1.17 million, or one-seventh overall - and amassed a big treasury. This is because he's the only Democrat in the race to succeed Saxton, who is ending a House career that began with a 1984 special election victory. Adler thus doesn't have to expend many resources ahead of a June 3 primary that is uncontested on the Democratic side, but which includes three Republicans competing for their party's nomination. President Bush took a bare majority of 51 percent of the vote in this district, an area of south-central New Jersey that includes Republican-leaning areas in Ocean County and Democratic-leaning areas in Burlington and Camden counties.
4) Linda Stender, Democrat, New Jersey's 7th ($845,000)
Stender, a member of the New Jersey state Assembly, planned to wage a second campaign against Ferguson, to whom she lost by just 1 percentage point in 2006. But Ferguson surprisingly announced last November that he would retire from Congress instead of seeking a fifth term. Stender is the lone Democratic candidate in this year's race. The Republicans, have a crowded field of eight candidates for their June 3 primary that includes state Sen. Leonard Lance, local mayor Martin Marks and Kate Whitman, a former congressional aide who is the daughter of former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman.
CQ still rates both seats as lean republican, but I would guess that is more a reflection of the fact that the seats have been in Republican hands prior to this election cycle.
