Cory Booker wins New Jersey Senate race

[jackstar7]

Because I'm an autism advocate and I've worked with the Newark autism folks, and seen Booker in action. He's there if there is some kind of celebrity, publicity action, but he's never accomplished anything in autism education, protection, and so on. I'll see if I can find some references to this.

He's a serious liar (duh, politician). There's nothing wrong with a politician trying to make a name for himself, and he's a smart guy - he could be worse.

Huh. That makes me wonder what expectations you have of him.

I'm not as personally familiar with him, but I recall his first-hand helping folks after the hurricane and at other times certainly gave me the impression of someone trying to help. I suppose that could just be through the lens of him as a celebrity though.

Thanks for the insight.

Booker pretty much undressed Lonegan in their last debate, it was hilarious to watch. Google it.

All in all, I like Booker. He stressed unity and reaching across the aisle, now let's see if he actually does it.

He may try it, reaching across the aisle, but it's hard to do much of it when they just try to bite your hand off...

It's also important to realize that the thrust of current Repub efforts is to further impoverish places like Newark, his home town...

And of course, by "further impoverish" you mean they oppose taking money from people not in those places and giving it to people who are in those places.

So weird. Like we're some kind of country or something.
