Booker will be the next governor of NJ, without a doubt, in 2014 unless he becomes a Senator before that. He's definitely the real deal. I've been impressed with this man as long as I've been reading about him.
Recently, a Newark resident had gotten shot in his car late one night. He called the Newark Police, but after 30 minutes no one had showed up to help him. As an act of desperation, he posted on Booker's twitter page. Booker responded he was on his way, picked the guy up, and drove him to a hospital.

Posted: 2/10/10 at 6:48pmRecently, Booker showed up on an elderly constituent's doorstep to shovel his walkway (again, after a twitter).

Posted: 2/10/10 at 7:18pmIt's all good print but has a Mayor of Newark, NJ ever gone on to win statewide as Governor? I wish Corey Booker the best.

Had an African-American ever been elected president before 2008?

seems like he has a steep hill to climb:
"in a statewide poll of likely voters conducted Jan. 24-26 by lansing-based epic-mra, 82 percent of those asked didn't recognize bernero's name, and he drew only single digits in a matchup with other potential democratic candidates."
virg who?

Seems like a wide-open field to me.
"But most of the Democrats considering joining the race face the same handicaps. Only Ilitch, whose father owns the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers professional sports teams, reached double digits in the poll, and 51 percent of likely Democratic voters said they were undecided about a favorite in the race."

"Seems like a wide-open field to me."
That's a big part of why I think the GOP has a chance this time with a moderate candidate like Snyder.

@Yawper It's time to take him viral. I just put my $ where my mouth is at his campaign website. I've also been in contact with a couple of Detroit-area college alumni chapters with which I'm affiliated. He's got his work cut out for him going up against Miss Money Bags.

on one of the recordings, the consultant allegedly said, when referring to newark officials with whom they would likely be dealing, "they’re all corrupt, except for (the mayor)," according to the indictment.

Newark has a history of corruption. Cory Booker is changing that.
===
In an interview, Booker defended his efforts, saying his administration had mounted probes leading to 19 convictions within city hall. "We don’t wait for other people to investigate corruption in our city. We are aggressively working against it every single day," Booker said.
