"I, fortunately, still am running a pretty large city"
Rep. Frank Pallone: "Your campaign said you were at a barbecue in Belleville"
It appears Cory Booker was a no show at this past weekend's debate.
Yes, that's correct. Mr. 40 points ahead himself wimped out and pulled an Arnold Schwarzenegger. You recall that when Ah-nold himself went to the final debate in the 2003 California Gubernatorial Recall Race, he had not gone to previous debates where other contenders in the race showed up.
Booker's excuse?

"I, fortunately, still am running a pretty large city," Booker said, adding that at the time of the debate, he was in Newark for the opening of a business.
One of the Democratic U.S. Senate in NJ candidates, Frank Pallone, fired at Booker:

"Your campaign said you were at a barbecue in Belleville," Pallone shot back.
Cory, are you running for the U.S. Senate or are you running the City of Newark? This is a debate. You decide.
Here's the debate broken down into four videos (can't get entire video in one):
