As much as I like knowing he's doing good as mayor, I look forward to seeing him in a broader, and eventually national, role.
(NOT moving to Jersey to vote for him as Governor, tho; will encourage daughter and son-in-law to do that!)

Interesting that people who have recently been empowered with rights, understand them better than many who spout the constitution.

I totally agree with you, he has an awesome future. I truly believe he could indeed become the 2nd African American to be elected President.

I agree, he has a future. Perhaps the first black VP under Hillary in 2016, or Grayson/Booker, or Booker/?

..... and she'll be 69. She'll probably just want to enjoy her life at that point.

Like Obama, he pushes this great persona, while enacting the corporate agenda.

I am getting tired of the cheerleading for this kind of "progressive" politician. He is not the friend of teachers.

He should be ashamed of himself. I do not admire him at all- he will sell out NJ kids to Nestle (already has) for $100,000.00.
