Cory Booker reportedly leaning toward Senate run

[krazen1211]

Senator Laughingstock doesn't appear to be going away without a fight.

Senator Laughingstock doesn't appear to be going away without a fight.

David Vitter is not eligible to run in this election, Krazen. He's registered in Louisiana and rumored to be running for the Governorship in 2015.

Please get your facts straight.

Senate Democrats are trying to be respectful toward Lautenberg but it doesn't take a genius to read between the lines.

He's in.

I find his voice to be very annoying.

Go away, he's awesome. And he uses the word "delicious" to describe things. So precious.

Lautenberg's been great for New Jersey (my state of birth), but it's probably time he retire.

very good decision by Booker, especially if he has any inclination to run for Prez in 2016.. senate seat is a pretty easy win and he should arrive in DC with fanfare.  Christie was a much harder win and more "local".

Political junkies salivating over a potential showdown between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Cory Booker in New Jersey's gubernatorial race next year might not get their wish.
Booker, the rising-star Democratic mayor of Newark, N.J., is leaning toward running for U.S. Senate in 2014 instead, sources tell the Wall Street Journal.
Booker's office did not respond to a request for comment from Yahoo News, but the Journal reports the mayor is eyeing the seat currently held by Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who, at 88, is widely expected to retire.

Wouldn't that be too soon for Booker?  2020 or 2024 seems more likely.  He's young and has time.

Yeah, he'd pretty much have to start running for President within months of taking his Senate seat. He'd be jumping the line much more so than Obama did, not to mention it would likely be setting up a showdown with Christie again.

This man will either end up in prison or the White House. Perhaps both.
