Former NJ Governor: Booker hearts Big Money

Richard Codey, former Democratic governor of NJ, told Salon today that Cory Booker has "been courting big money ever since he first ran for office": http://www.salon.com/2012/05/21/cory_booker%E2%80%99s_backyard_fallout/

Boom. This Booker guy's career is over. He wanted to become governor. I would suggest that he not waste his time.

So desperate to suck up to the Street that he equates fact-based criticisms of Bain with Rev. Wright ads.

Just put a neon Whore sign over your head next time, Cory.

his vaunting ambition makes him impossibly unpredictable.

He'll say anything to ingratiate himself to the PTB, whatever the market will bear.

As Eugene Robinson just said on "Hardball"--he was clumsy in both directions, i.e. tearing down Obama"s campaign and then trying to walk it back later.
