I have Booker on the list only because he already has a national profile, can raise money and is a very popular 2 term Mayor. Beating Christie for the statehouse would raise his profile and bona fides even more. I honestly think he'd be a perfect VP choice for Clinton or Biden to add some youth and color to the ticket.
He is definitely one of the nationally best-known mayors (and the other ones on that list are from far-larger cities).
