Well in all honesty I wouldn't want Mayor Mike to do that. I like him too much. Other people might wish he would run into a burning building.Originally posted by B-Fly View PostComment

I saw Booker play football in high school - incredible player. Only other player I can recall seeing who was THAT good at that age was veteran NFL tight end Greg Olsen. Booker played at Stanford, too, but then he got distracted by all that Rhodes Scholar type stuff.

Booker vs. Christie would be a hell of a governor's race.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

Especially because they have been quite chummy, in spite of being from different parties.
I think they each may want to avoid a head-on battle at any level.
Christie has a specific fondness for Booker's mayoral city of Newark, and has some roots there.
And Booker has a personal background at least as well-off as Christie had.
More similar than a lot of people might think.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I too think they'd probably wish to avoid each other, as they do get on pretty well and each wouldn't mind seeing the other's star rise. Booker's current term as Newark Mayor ends in 2014, and I don't think he's likely to bail on Newark mid-term. Lautenberg's Senate seat is up in 2014 and he's unlikely to seek re-election at age 92. I think that might be Booker's next race. Christie faces re-election in 2013, if he doesn't leave early to run with Romney.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

Christie has a very bright future--I would absolutely hate to see him hitch his wagon to Romney's failed star.Originally posted by B-Fly View PostComment

Nice work by Christie and Booker on this video for the NJ Press Association Correspondents Dinner.
