The primary that will decide which Republican will run against Democrat Linda Stender in November will take place tomorrow.  New Jeresy's 7th District seat is a top priority for both parties;  Stender came within one percentage point of defeating incumbant Mike Ferguson (who is not seeking reelection this year) in 2006.  The two frontrunners in the GOP primary are Leonard Lance and Kate Whitman.  Lance is a state senator and former minority leader in New Jersey's state senate.  Whitman is a former congressional aide and daughter of former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman.  The race is very tight and I wouldn't be surprised if either one wins tomorrow.  I like both candidates personally, but I'm pulling for Whitman.  Whitman is a young, smart, enthusiastic, and personable politician who I think Stender will have a hard time beating this fall.  Stender, if you didn't know, is one of the state's most liberal assemblymembers.  She is hardcore tax-and-spender and even proposed a ban in the state of New Jersey on Ann Coulter's book Godless:  The Church of Liberalism.  Ms. Stender is just too liberal for this center-right district, and I'm confident that both Lance and Whitman would be able to beat her in the general with sufficient funds and some hard work.
