I’d prefer that he challenge Christie. That is, if Christie doesn’t pull a Romney.

Christie doesn’t pull, he’s a Catholic.

I cannot stand Booker on life issues, but this guy is likable, rolls up his sleeves and gets busy. Follow him on twitter. I do not think the guy sleeps.

Tweeted Booker:

Life is about purpose not popularity, significance not celebrity. If u have no detractors, critics or adversaries ur probably not doing much

Booker, apparently still channeling Tupac followed this up with:

All I'm trying to do iz survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

Who cares? More deck-chair rearranging. The entire political class is shot. The ship is going down. We need a third party or a Sarah Palin (who else is there?) or we’re finished.

Smart move. This way he won’t be responsible, or held liable for his record, and he can grandstand and show boat just like Obama did so that he can run for the Presidency as another charismatic, Black pop culture icon.

NJ is a Mid-Atlantic state, not a New England state.

Northern Virginia Colony. New England. Whatever. Anything East of the Ohio River and North of the Mason-Dixon.

He’d literally have to start running for President right after being sworn into the Senate.

Respectfully disagree, DB.

All Progressive/Radical Left campaigns are perpetual.

It’s all about The Movement.

This is what the GOP doesn’t understand.

The pieces are interchangeable as long as it advances The Movement’s agenda.

That’s why Obama was The One. He was the best ever vehicle for advancing the Movement into mainstream power.

Worked, too.

The first thing that occurred to me was that he was told to run for Senate because the idea of the ONLY Afro American in the Senate being a Republican was unacceptable. It meant the Senate had NO African American credibility at all.

Democrats will have to scramble for a candidate to put up against Christie in 2013, now.

I think this is smart. Gov. Christie’s approval numbers are bound to take a hit while he fixes N.J. problems, why would the local superhero take that chance. He can wait until N.J. is better situated and then run for governor.

Yes and no.

Obama showed the way: spend a few years in the Senate, then go for Th Big Prize.

Who do the Donks have on the bench for 2016? Biden? Headache Hillary? Kerry again?

They got zilch.

Booker is the heir-apparent, and the low info voters will lap it up.

Bruno Strozek on December 20, 2012 at 2:57 PM

Not possible. And I don’t even mean from a lack of experience standpoint. The timing doesn’t work. He’d literally have to start running for President right after being sworn into the Senate.

If Lautenberg decides to retire — a distinct possiblity — that will free up Booker from actually having to campaign for the job.

Don’t be surprised to see if he uses his free time to begin exploring a presidential campaign.

Why does it matter who runs as a democrat? They all vote the same … they’re all corrupt … they all ignore the Constitution.

Just put up a Japanese robot and slap a “democrat” sticker on it’s head. Preprogram it with standard democrat rhetoric such as “raise taxes” and “you’re a racist” and you’re set.

Wouldn’t it be funny if some RINO ran against Booker and beat him.
That would be hilarious.
