Mayor Cory Booker - Hope & Possibility
Sometimes the guests on Meet the Press are earnest but humdrum. This morning, I sat up and noticed Mayor Cory Booker.
In case you don't know Mayor Booker, here is his impressive background, in a nutshell:
"Young Booker earned bachelor's and master's degrees in 1991 and 1992, both from Stanford University, where he was a tight end on the football team. He attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 1994. At Oxford Booker became the first non-Jewish president of the L'Chaim Society after befriending Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. Booker obtained his law degree from Yale University in 1997, but shunned law firms and Wall Street for a public fellowship, wanting to help people in need. He moved to Newark while attending Yale Law School." "Cory Booker." Biography Resource Center Online. Gale, 2007.

And America loves football analogies. Perfect.
Anything to get out the liberal message and Bloomberg did not step all over that message.

Bloomberg, with his praise for Obama and the stimulus package, sounded more like a Democrat than most Blue Dogs.
It was obvious that there was some mutual admiration going on there. I don't think Greggers was too happy about that.
