In Newark, Booker Elected in a Landslide

"Cory Booker, the young, Ivy League-educated lawyer who fought an unsuccessful battle four years ago against the domineering incumbent Sharpe James, has been elected mayor, marking the start of a new political era in New Jersey's largest city," the New York Times reports.

Despite the nasty race against James in 2002, the Newark Star Ledger notes Booker held out an olive branch last night saying, "I want to take a hat off to the man who occupies the seat now, and I hope you all give applause to Mayor Sharpe James."
