Cory Booker Getting Out the Vote by Getting Into the Street

It’s raining today in a lot of places on the East Coast, which I noticed earlier when I went outside to walk to my polling place to vote and got wet. Most other people noticed it, too, as they were carrying umbrellas (I wasn’t) and generally trying to avoid being in the rain, but boy, Cory Booker. Now there’s a guy who doesn’t mind a bit of weather.

Booker, the New Jersey senator whose seemingly limitless supply of enthusiasm regularly toes the line between boyishly charming and vaguely deranged, was back home in his district today, where it was raining. But that didn’t stop him from standing outside in the street to wave a sign at drivers urging them to vote.
