Count me surprised, I didn’t see this coming at all. But maybe Cory Booker is not the superstar he’s been portrayed as. Some politicians have a history of underperforming on election day.
Maybe Obama has cured some people of ‘white guilt’.
Booker has had unpopularity up the wazoo among the black constituents of Newark who don’t really even consider him black. There are persistent rumors he’s a sodomite, he doesn’t really live in the state, he was a crud mayor who got people killed. If the RNC B**** had helped Steve Lonegan, he might have pulled it out. But they tripped him just like with Cooch, and dried up the funds so both candidates failed.
In a big wave, Bell has a shot.
There is no “maybe” about it, Booker is a clown.
If he were facing a first tier opponent he would be dead meat.
