Do Adler & Pallone agree to give the primary to Booker.

MSM, I guess there will finally be an African American in the Senate? ( Tim Scott who?)

Maybe Lautenberg wants another 6 years?

Great. Another asshat rears his ugly head. But, he has lived on the street and been on food stamps. Well, he said he did it for a WEEK so he can understand the plight of those that HAVE to live like that. Another “radical left wing extemist”. Just what we need. Can’t we kick NJ out of the union? Maybe not. They did give us Jersey Shore.

Share the lead.

let’s see.. lautenberg gets reelected,dies in office and Porky appoints a Repub that satisfies conservatives. I don’t wish death on anyone but some people don’t think of the big picture. Just think of the blown Senate opportunities by the stupid party.

“Reformed homophobe” Booker who earlier bowed out of running against Chrissy is looking to run for the Senate. Senator Dracula may or may not have something to say about that. I hope the Jersey GOP has something to say other than “Congratulations Senator”.

In other news Tim Scott’s Senate website isn’t up yet.

Cory Booker says fight against homophobia has been a career-long theme
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2013/01/cory_booker_says_fight_against.html#incart_m-rpt-1

Mayor Cory Booker made national headlines yesterday when an article he published as a student in the Stanford Daily circulated online, detailing his evolution from homophobe to tolerance advocate.

The 1992 op-ed tells how Booker once “hated gays” but transformed his views when he attended the California university.

Today, Booker released a statement addressing the evolution of his feelings on homosexuality.

I hope he won’t get elected in 2014 but he is probably the frontrunner if Draula retires and maybe even if he doesn’t, some poll has him ahead of Dracula by 42-20.

No way Obama will be followed by another Black democrat with even less time in the Senate.

Sorry , Camden’s Andrews is who I meant. He ran in the primary in 2008 versus Lautenberg. He lost but his wife had won the primary and dropped out so Camden Democrats replaced her with him.

Cory Booker is a VERY talented demagogue, far more so Zero. He is not to be underestimated.
