Optics is a term we've used in the military for quite some time, usually in the context of public affairs or information operations.

Cost? $26B, = to $1.5B/day and 90,000 jobs. The measures to confidence cannot be calculated nor can jobs not created as the hot air blowers like to say. here

Macroeconomic Advisers LLC said in a report prepared this week for the Peter G. Peterson Foundation that the recurring budget battles in Washington have lowered U.S. economic growth by about 0.3 percentage points a year since 2009. It has also added more than a half-point to this year’s unemployment rate, or the equivalent of about 900,000 jobs, the report said.

these are not numbers estimated by a 'liberal' outlet

Voted for Lonegan. The third party people were just awful. Ended up rationalizing it saying if Booker only wins by 10% or so, maybe Kean Jr. or some other decent candidate might try to take him on next November.

Looks like Booker is gonna be stuck right around 55%. That's pretty poor. Turnout was abysmal though, so not sure it means he's remotely vulnerable next year.

Wow. Booker could pretty much be a NE Republican. Feel like it we put Booker, Lonegan and you on a scale that you'd be much closer to Booker.

In practice Booker is going to be a reliable vote for the Democrats on any major issue. If they were running for governor of New Jersey, it'd be a different thing.

When Booker runs for Governor, I sure as shit hope that the GOP has a viable candidate going against him; background from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" need not apply. Democrat or not, I am not sure I could ever bring myself to vote for Booker. I certainly did not yesterday (I sat it out).

I think he's going to stay as a senator. He wants the national stage. Long term plan is a presidential run.

It's never going to happen. He needed to mop the floor with Lonegan and that didn't happen. I think he's one of those politicians who seems good at first, but begins to wear thin really fast. He's the Dem's answer to Rick Perry.

not saying its going to work, but that's what his goal is.

Also, he did better than Menendez in a bigger turnout year. The turnout was embarassing.

It's more disappointing because Lonegan is a lunatic.

Booker is all talk with no substance, honestly did he do anything positive in Newark? He has a lot of nice sounding rhetoric but that seems to be about it
