1. I think Cory Booker should run for N.J. Senator if Sen. Lautenberg retires

he would easily win

Running vs. Christie will not be easy after Hurricane Sandy

ESPECIALLY if the Jersey shore is open for business in Summer 2013.
Just don't see it being possible.

However, Senator is 100% doable and I don't think he would have any competition whatsoever vs. any republican they can think of in NJ. NONE.

And as Lautenberg has not indicated that he is running again, (though I would vote for him again), but if he doesn't run, the job is Cory's.
