Yes, thanks. Yeah, Newark and New Jersey!

3. this is.....

the second time I've heard Corey Booker speak...
he is impressive....

right before Bill asked him...I was thinking
Booker in 2016 sounds like a winner!

5. I just did the googles

on Booker and watched a Bill Moyer interview with him...
Wow....just wow. Very inspirational.

6. This Cory Booker fellow...

...is really quite impressive!

Could we have possibly turned a corner, and now we get to have the smart people in charge?

7. There was PBS (?) special on Mayor Booker a couple years ago.

He was a young, new breed of politician fighting the entrenched machinery of the Newark establishment.
His opponent, and older Black Democrat, so wanted to hold on to power that Booker was labeled, like Obama by some, not black enough.
He was even accused of not being Black at all.
I'm really happy to see he succeeded and is obviously doing well.

8. 2016 :D He had me at "Like Pericles said..." I'll campaign/donate n/t

[stlsaxman]

9. Great line- "We Americans drink deeply from a well we did not dig"

Did Booker coin that?

This guy rocks!

10. Wrong Maher-being black doesn't make 4 a better pres.;It's just no longer a barrier

Cory Booker is really smart and motivated to help society besides being likable.

I know his color doesn't matter to Maher who really only looks to see if they're an asshole or not.

11. Impressive guy!

Cute too!
