    Newark's Shining Star

    Today I met a very impressive guy. His name is Cory Booker and he is the Mayor of Newark, N.J. I have seen him on television and read about him, but I had never met him up until today. His resume and educational background is very impressive: he has a B.A. and M.A. from Stanford University, a B.A. in Modern History from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar and has a law degree from Yale University. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? WOW!!!!!!!

    The mayor and I talked about what he has done to fight crime and rising foreclosures in Newark. He is currently two years into his term as mayor and has some of best statistical rates of progress in the country. Booker also happens to be an avid supporter of Senator Obama. Listen to who he thinks Obama should select as a VP candidate, what he makes of the Jesse Jackson controversy and which team he's rooting for as NFL pre-season training camp begins. This guy is going to have a HUGE future! He is young, articulate, handsome and very smart! Take a look.
