Burlington County GOP Chairman Bill Layton said people should not get too excited by the prospect of an upset - or even a contest, in the third district GOP congressional primary between establishment-backed Jon Runyan and tea party favorite Justin Murphy. Layton said Murphy has done his best to rile up the anti-organization crowd in Burlington and Ocean, where the bulk of 3rd District Republican votes are concentrated.
"The Tea Party movement is good and fine, but it's not enough in a primary where organizations and lines are everything," Layton said. "I understand the environment. Look, if you're an incumbent right now, you should be scared. If you're in elected office, you should be wearing a diaper."
Given how Runyan has performed so far, if anyone is wearing diapers these days it's Bill Layton and Ocean County GOP boss George Gilmore.
