and of the ones I've spoken with about the topic, each has said that they like Warren very well, but that they don't feel she has enough experience in government to be able to get things done in the way that Hillary likely would. They're also concerned about having Scotty-boy come back to try to take that Senate seat again.

2. Hillary will lose the primary if she runs. If she wins she'll lose the presidency.

Her running is a gift to Republicans because she's such a huge target and has no message.

She has name recognition but when the time comes to get people out to vote, more will come out to vote AGAINST her than for her.

Banality, the Clintons, banks and secrecy and focus groups, oh my!

"All all of the women — Democratic women I should say — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.

3. Warren is a smart lady, she has a right to make her decision and she knows what she wants.

Hillary does have name recognition, and Warren does also, now what is the argument. Hillary WILL win the primary if she runs. She is very capable, is strong and ready to take the office running. She is surrounding herself with good experienced people to run her campaign and I feel sure she will surround herself in the office of president with a great staff and cabinet in the same way.

"I'm Ready for Hillary. Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified person in the United States to serve as President. If she runs, I will support her. I have known Hillary for almost twenty-five years." -- Howard Dean
