    Is anyone else as impressed with this guy as I am? Democratic Senator out of New Jersey who has a fair track record of remaining fairly moderate on the economy while maintaining socially progressive views. Moreover, he's a fiery speaker who is very inspiring and thought-provoking. Not to mention, he actually rescued a woman from a burning building as mayor of Newark!

    Check this speech out from several years ago and tell me this guy isn't a potential world leader:

    Saw him speak live at a healthcare convention a few years ago. Good but not great speaker.

    Esquire ran a great long article on him about a decade ago when he was mayor. Sounded like he had a lot of integrity. Living in the hood while mayor, physically breaking up disturbances, getting in gang members faces etc. He didn't pretend to care about the poor, he actually did care about the poor.

    White people love Cory Booker because he makes Barack Obama look like Malcolm X.

    Glenn Greenwald, who is gay, predicts this. Anything so the 1 percent can give the illusion of major progress but keep their growing percent of everything intact.

    He has a college degree, so according to Texx he's not black at all.

    Not that impressed by Corey. Just another Dem who is a favorite of Wall Street and he will repay their support.
