$17 million on ads, but no love for the NJ GOP

by: Jason Springer

Sat Aug 30, 2008 at 04:59:39 PM EDT



In the last few days, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has made 2 ad buys, the latest and then the original buy, totaling $17 million dollars for 26 districts across the country. Before NJ GOP candidates get themselves excited, they should realize that not one of the districts is in Jersey.

I guess the National Committee isn't willing to make an investment in candidates that can't inspire others to do the same in kind for them.  This is particularly troubling for challengers like Leonard Lance in NJ-7 and Chris Myers in NJ-3 whose opponents are already very well funded and the national party has actively come on board.

As of now, if challengers like Lance and Myers want to join their friends in Congress, they will have to do all the heavy lifting on their own.  I guess it's a good thing Chris Myers agrees with George Bush and John McCain thinking the economy is basically strong because he's gonna need to get alot more of people's money.

i know full well what it feels like to be an ATM machine so i won't feign thoughts like "i wonder what it feels like to be an ATM machine."

But.....

As an Adler partisan, it's intriguing to learn where these buys are going.
