Lautenberg (Likely Senile-NJ) says Booker may need a "spanking."

Sounds like someone who plans to run in 2014, and knows he is way behind in the primary

I like Booker but the whole rescuing people/animals thing got old after like the third time.

saving someone from a burning building gets old? If that's not the most cynical thing I've ever heard I don't know what is...

Lautenberg appears to be a pretty solid and reliable progressive senator, I've voted for him 2x since becoming eligible.  But as a young NJ voter (25 years old) I think it is time for him to retire. I don't think we as Democrats in NJ can risk him becoming ill or suddenly passing away during a new term with a Republican in the governors mansion. I hope he does the right thing and stays out of the race and let Booker and others fight it out in a primary race.

Is Booker even running?  He just became mayor of Newark; shouldn't he focus on that first?

He's been Mayor since 2006
