I live here in Jersey and this guy is always in agreement with the Governor(Christy) plus he laid off over 100 cops in Newark NJ where crime has sky rocket

"this guy is always in agreement with the Governor(Christy)".

If you want to smear someone at least try to do it with the truth.

Governor Christie has vowed to veto marriage equality.

Better luck next time.

passionate delivery.

in 2014, Senator Lautenberg will be 90 years old. He retired once in 2000, but came back in 2002 to replace Toricelli. He's kicked cancer once, but his age is an issue. Lautenberg should retire, and Booker should run for the seat.

As a spouse of an immigrant Asian Indian, that man speaks the truth. 50 yrs ago, I would not have been able to marry my husband. That is a fact. It's about civil rights.

I watched a few episodes of the TV show that featured him last year, the cameras followed him around while he's at work, etc and he seemed like a great mayor!

And after watching his speech in the OP he now seems even greater
