Booker's the Democrat's best shot, and he could pull an Elizabeth Warren. But he would be the underdog in a blue state, and that might hurt his opportunities for a later bid.
Plus, Frank Lautenberg is going to be Ninety in 2014. So an open senate seat is a possibility, as is a primary challenge.
If the party leaders were smart, they would force out Lautenberg either way, as the state does not gain from having a ninety-something Senator. And they would promise Booker the Senate nomination in the event he loses the gubernatorial bid, as he remains their most impressive politician in the state.
