Newark Star-Ledger

If you were to poll all the political players in New Jersey and ask them to name the person they admire the most, the top vote-getter might well be Republican Congressman Leonard Lance.

He is not the best politician or the most magnetic personality. He is a nerd who once confessed that, in the shower, he sometimes fantasizes about debt reduction.
He is not a giant fundraiser or gifted speaker. He is a formal fellow who never loosens his tie, never speaks harshly of anyone and never, ever, has emitted a whiff of corruption.
