Where does Booker fit into your scenario?

They practically moved Lautenberg's senate seat into the Newark mayor's office two years ago.

I never even heard of Buono before her paid ads started popping up on FB about two months ago. She a potted fern.

Booker would have run against Buono in the primary.

It would have been a Clinton/Obama demographic battle in miniature.

Buono may be a "potted fern" but she is the suburban "soccer mom"/Emily's List alternative to Booker.
