House Update: Let's Talk About Sax, Baby

on.call.war.for.congress_icon.gif

Give Dems another pickup, this time in the Garden State. State Sen. John Adler (D) defeated Medford Mayor Chris Myers (R) 51-49% in NJ-03, a seat Rep. Jim Saxton (R) held for 24 years. GOPers were hopeful of holding this seat, and attempted to link Adler to the very unpopular NJ legislature. But in the end, Adler's huge CoH advantage, and the Dem leanings of this CD, appear to have done Myers in.

Dems now have netted 8 seats tonight.
