"They are the new citizen soliders in terms of activism"

New Jersey has one of the most robust Netroots communities in all the land.  We also have several Congressional seats in play this November.  Happy coincidence?

It was awesome to win back Congress in 2006 but none of that red-to-blue action took place where WE live. Hopefully that's all about to change.

When John Adler announced his run for NJ's 3rd Congressional seat, he had a lot of bloggers (self included) urging him on.

Fast forward to present day, and Adler finds himself in a battle royal to flip this seat and send a Democrat to Washington to represent NJ-3.

Of course, Adler is not the only seat that New Jersey may "flip" this November.  Linda Stender is a co-favorite in NJ-7 and Dennis Shulman continues to surge way up in North Jersey.  Even Josh Zeitz is turning heads with his thoughtful message and impressive fundraising.

If 2006 was the era of "horseradish on melba toast" then 2008 is all about milk and honey.  Jersey style.
