My conversation with a stranger on the train talking about Cory Booker:
Me: "overheard you talking about voting for Cory Booker, why are you voting for him?" Her: "because he's great, very inspirational" Me: "inspirational? Why so?" Her: "because he's just great. He's done a lot for Newark?" Me: "he has?? I didn't know that...can you tell me more about something specific he's done?" Her: "ummmm, well, he's like, made the city better and stuff" Me: "oh that's cool, how has he made it better?" Her: "well, he like, he turned it around and ummmm its nicer" Me: "right but how? What specifically did he do to make that happen. And what exactly is 'nicer'?" Her: I dunno, he's just awesome! EXACTLY....SMH.... Quote:

I will not be joining the parade to elect Cory Booker based on name recognition alone. He has no legislative experience and the very best you can say about his record in Newark is "mixed." A gift for self-promotion does not mean he's earned a job promotion. (BTW, running out on Newark before completing the term he promised to finish.)
Unfortunately, with the trio of Holt, Oliver, and Pallone each taking their slice of the electorate, the election will look like a cakewalk. Frank Pallone and Rush Holt have each done fine work representing their districts in the House of Representatives. Each would represent NJ well, and nobody would doubt that their #1 focus would be working in the Senate to benefit New Jersey and our nation.

?Booker?s stake is a bribe.? "He gets money, the bribers er 'donors' or 'partners' get control and access over public policy, at the expense of the voters. This is blatant graft and of a type that used to be common in the late 19th century, which in so many ways our politics and economy seem to be moving back to."

I wish I could remember the comment he mad a few years ago that got him in trouble with DNC. He was speaking in a lucid unfiltered moment and the point he made was so true.,.. he lost me when he walked it back 24 hours later... I do like how Cory made the list of Top 100 Influential New Yorkers??? Did not know being Mayor of Newark qualifies you for that list?

Hmmm interesting and how many times has Booker appeared on CNN programs?
For a while I thought he was dating Soledad O'Brien or was a new host of ?Starting Point?. He should have been back in The Brick taking care of business.

The Star Ledger, always ready to dump on Christie, does mention the cozy relationship with Zucker-but somehow misses the stock options that were granted to Zucker's FIFTEEN YEAR OLD son!

Nothing like giving CNN boss Jeff Zucker's FIFTEEN YEAR OLD son a consulting gig WITH STOCK OPTIONS in your Internet startup to guarantee good press. Oopsie, the news went out, and the deal is off. The stink is still there, however. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
