Asserts the moderate-liberal Democratic mayor of Newark, New Jersey, about tonight's vice presidential debate in the United States. From The Hill: "Booker also said that he found Vice President Biden's 'off-script'
moments to be 'refreshing' as he previewed the upcoming debate between
Biden and Romney running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). 'I think the American public are going to see a guy who's really
passionate and gets very excited about the dramatic differences. Now,
that means that sometimes people accuse him of going off-script or
whatever,' Booker said during an appearance on CNN's 'Starting Point.' 'But that's refreshing to me. I really crave, from both sides.'"
More: "Booker went on to say that a similar off-the-cuff style was why he liked
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) during his first run for president. 'It was a rawness, it was a truth, shooting from the hip, as opposed to
the guy who had to run hard to the right, like many Republicans have to
do to get their primary wins and the like,' Booker said. 'What we need
tonight is just a pure, unadulterated honesty from both sides.'"
