This Mayor Can Really Shovel It

As the snow piled up on New Year’s Eve, Jersey resident Ravie Rave didn’t call a snow plow service to take care of her 65-year-old father’s walk — she tweeted at Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who showed up shortly with shovels and salt.

Booker, who has more than a million Twitter followers, is a regular man-about-town when it comes to the microblogging service (remember that whole thing with Conan?), but this level of responsiveness is extreme, even for the sometimes to-good-to-be-true politician.

1. I have been following Mayor Booker for years now

He really is an upcoming star in our Party. We must support him as he campaigns for higher office in New Jersey.

3. Cory Booker rocks

I'm going up to Newark for a few days this spring to work on his re-election campaign. I just hope that in 2013 he has ambitions beyond Newark and will run for governor.

His twitter feed's great and very inspirational if anyone here wants to follow him.
