Have a fucking primary and may the best man win!

And why should Booker be the sacrificial lamb against Christie? Everyone knows he's gonna win. I don't blame Booker. He's doing the smart thing. Why don't Pallone run for governor??

I'm not a Booker fan either, but I'm sorry...this smells of racism and jealousy.
