Top GOP Contender Won't Run For Saxton's Seat
New Jersey Republicans have lost their top recruit to run for the open seat of retiring Rep. Jim Saxton (R-NJ) today: State Senator Diane Allen, who was considered a potentially formidable contender for the open seat, released a statement that cited the specter of a contentious GOP primary for her decision.
The news strengthens the hand of Democrats, who believe that their recruit, state Sen. John Adler, is well-poised to capture this moderate swing district.

As I believe TPM EC Jersey expert Eric Kleefeld will tell you, James, it's State Senator John Adler, not Jim.

Wow, this is exactly the scenario in IL-11: A competitive open seat, Democrats get their top recruit, Republicans don't... These very recent race-by-race House rankings rate IL-11 lean takeover, and NJ-03 a toss-up, but this should certainly improve Democratic prospects here.
