Cory Booker Is One Awesome Mayor

As the snow piled up on New Year’s Eve, Jersey resident Ravie Rave didn’t call a snow plow service to take care of her 65-year-old father’s walk — she tweeted at Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who showed up shortly with shovels and salt.

Booker, who has more than a million Twitter followers, is a regular man-about-town when it comes to the microblogging service (remember that whole thing with Conan?), but this level of responsiveness is extreme, even for the sometimes to-good-to-be-true politician.

And if you don’t follow Cory on Twitter, you really should. He is the most engaging politician I have ever found on there.

1. 2 friends and I have snow blades on our 4 wheelers.

We clear driveways for our neighbors, no charge. That's just where I'm headed as soon as I post this.

2. I don't follow tweets, but I tend to like Cory Booker

He's got a hard job and he does it well.
