Asserts the moderate-liberal Democratic mayor of Newark, N.J., who may challenge Governor Chris Christie next year: "Newark Mayor Cory Booker said [Tuesday] that Gov. Christie's decision to run for re-election will have no bearing on any decision he makes regarding his political future. 'I'm giving a run for governor thorough consideration,' Booker told The Star-Ledger. 'I will make a decision as quickly as possible. Critical to my decision is not the difficulties of the politics or positioning in polls but choosing the position — mayor, governor, U.S. senator or one outside of electoral politics — from which I can make the best contributions to the city and state I love.'"
