9. Here's the latest: Booker Walks Back Obama Criticism

Via Twitter:

"So I'll clarify my comments on MTP ["Meet the Press"]. Yes, Obama must be re-elected. But we as a Nation owe it to him & ourselves 2 reject politics as usual," he wrote.

But apparently Booker - or Obama campaign aides - felt that he didn't go far enough.

Later Sunday evening, Booker and the campaign circulated a brief impromptu web video of Booker further clarifying his comment directly to camera from behind an office desk.

"Mitt Romney has made his business record a centerpiece of his campaign. He's talked about himself as a job creator and therefore it is reasonable, and I encourage it, for the Obama campaign to examine that record and to discuss it," Booker says, clearly backpedaling from his earlier comments.
