Sharpton in Brooklyn, Newark
It's going to be an eventful weekend for Al Sharpton.
First, he'll be urging black leaders to coalesce in support of a single black candidate in the Congressional 11th, where Rock Hackshaw says Charles Barron is taking an interest as well.
And on Sunday, I'm told, Sharpton will be speaking at the church of his new ally Cory Booker in Newark, where the Reverend helped five-term mayor Sharpe James turn away a challenge from Booker four years ago.

If appearing with Booker doesn't expose to the world what kind of opportunistic race baiter Sharpton really is, nothing will. Everyone do a Google search on the 2002 race and read some of the comments made by Sharpe about James.
Cory, what are you doing??
change the above to "read some of the comments made by James about Booker."
As if we didn't have enough problems in Newark already. Now comes Al Charlatan. "Good God. Why should they mock poor fellows thus."
Sharpton style politics keeps blacks from taking more seats beyond local races in heavily majority black districts.
