From the Newark Star-Ledger, about the moderate-liberal Democrat: "Newark Mayor Cory Booker said tonight his decision on whether to run for governor has been pushed back by Hurricane Sandy but vowed not to keep Democrats waiting too much longer. 'The reality is Sandy has pushed my timeline back,' Booker said on his monthly radio program on WBGO."
More: "With Booker widely touted as the best-positioned Democrat to beat Gov.
Chris Christie, the Democratic party in New Jersey is on tenterhooks to
see if he will make a run next year. Two sources familiar with Booker's thinking told The Star-Ledger last
week that he plans to decide whether to challenge Christie — who has
indicated he plans to seek re-election — by mid-December, leaving plenty
of time for other potential Democratic candidates to mount a campaign.".
