From theGrio, about the moderate-liberal mayor of Newark, N.J.: "Newark mayor Cory Booker would be favored by a majority of Democrats
to replace N.J. senator Frank Lautenberg, should he choose not to run
for re-election in 2014, according to a new poll."
More about Mayor Booker: "The Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling firm has found that 48
percent of N.J. Democrats back Booker, which puts him far ahead of
potential rivals Rob Andrews and Frank Pallone. Their poll also showed the 6 in 10 state Democrats would rather see Booker run than the 88-year-old incumbent. While Lautenberg has yet to announce his intentions for 2014, his spokesman has said 'retirement is the last thing on his mind.'"
