The last veteran of WWII in the Senate and a well loved "political gladiator" passed away this morning. RIP, sir.

Gov. Christie should appoint Corey Booker to his seat.

I wish I could take credit for the idea, Pat but alas it was floated by that WaPo writer.

If Gov. Christie was considering a party switch it would be a coup of epic proportions. <snicker>
