7. There are no perfect politicians ...

but there ARE politicians that can keep the Democratic majority in the Senate (in this case) and politicians that can create a Democratic majority in the House.

9. Indeed. I would have held my nose and voted

for him. But he does NOT get a pass from me. Nestlé is evil and he should know that.

11. Amen to that!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Cory Booker is, in my opinion, a good man. Imperfect, as you say, but that's the world we all have to live and function in.

I believe he'll try his best to do the right thing every day, and the right thing in his mind aligns most closely, from everything I know about him, with the left-of-center Democrats' world view.

It helps greatly that he's pretty damn smart -- and savvy, too. He'll do well.
