If Elizabeth Warren runs for the White House in 2016...

[MrScorpio]

You can count me in as a supporter.

However, I want to see her kick Scott Brown's ass first.

[tosh]

1. Oh yes!!

[Rabblevox]

3. hell the f**k yes! (and she could kick Brown's ass with one hand tied) /nt

[roguevalley]

37. +++ hell the f yes here too.

[PDJane]

2. I'll be cheering from the sidelines............

[democrank]

4. Go Elizabeth!

[hifiguy]

5. Yes, HELL YES!

A brilliant woman and a breath of fresh air in Democratic politics.

[cascadiance]

6. This should happen whether heading the ticket or as VP for Governor Feingold...

... after he's been Wisconsin governor for five years taking over for Scott Walker.

One way or another, I'd like to see her on the ticket! Yes!

[Cronus Protagonist]

7. 2012 would be even better

We could use a real Democratic president.

[AngkorWot]

9. If Elizabeth Warren ever wins the white house.

All the same Obama bashers will start bashing Warren.

[Cronus Protagonist]

13. Who are these Obama bashers?

I trust you are not referring to me. I'm a liberal progressive person who can't stand DINOs, I'm not an "Obama basher".

[AngkorWot]

15. Uh huh.

And I'm sure Warren would instantly become a DINO the moment she swears in.

[Cronus Protagonist]

27. You might be right about that one

It seems no one can get the Whitehouse without being vetted and approved by you and your buddies.

[zipplewrath]

16. kinda depends

Will she honor Rick Warren at her inauguration?
Will she keep on GWB's sec Def?
Will she choose Rahm as here CoS?

Obama earned his criticism. She earn some of her own. It may come from Blue Dogs who object to her pushing them to the left.

[AngkorWot]

17. "Obama earned his criticism."

>Posts three trivialities.

Warren has been overwhelmingly supportive of the Obama administration. No doubt the hate of Warren will be as dishonest and superficial as the current hate.

[RC]

32. "Warren has been overwhelmingly supportive of the Obama administration."

As compared to what? The treasonest Party of NO!?
Of course she supports the Obama Administration. It's the only game in town, flawed as it is

[hulka38]

22. Will she appoint Geithner's protege, Wall Street's man in Washington

to head the treasury and safe guard the economy for regular Americans?

[AngkorWot]

25. There's little doubt

that the people who slur Geithner will slur whoever Warren picks, yes.

[Recursion]

29. Since Geithner never worked a day in his life on Wall Street...

...but still gets tarred as a Wall Street Guy, I feel safe betting that people will call whomever Warren appoints something similar.

[hulka38]

31. Since the advent of the telephone and the internet

you don't have to have an office on Wall St itself to be working on its behalf. Warren wouldn't appoint a stiff and you can take that to the bank.

[emulatorloo]

12. Let's see what we can do about getting REAL majorities in the House and the Senate in 2012

Which includes putting Warren there.

[Cronus Protagonist]

14. Yeah, that will work well

Like it did in 2008.

[bcool]

8. She'd be the 2nd oldest person elected...

...since she would be 67 in 2016.

I'm not sure if that would be a good thing, considering all the stress that goes with the office.

I've been a fan of hers ever since she appeared in a lot of PBS shows on various topics - I'd hate for her to be destroyed by all the pressure.

[Greybnk48]

11. For a woman, that's not old. We outlive males most of the

time. She may not want it because of wanting a rest, but if she does want it, she'd be fine. Ronnie was fucking addled and he was re-elected.

[subterranean]

21. I didn't realize she was 62.

She comes across (to me) as about 10 years younger.
Anyway, I think all this talk about her presidential prospects is a bit premature. I doubt she is even considering that at this point in time.

Having said that, she'd be on my short list of preferred candidates in 2016, should she decide to run (assuming she wins the Senate seat in 2012).

[DainBramaged]

23. And how old was Ronnie Raygun? This age bias bullshit has to cease.

[Ter]

34. Or third if and older puke wins in '12

n/t

[Mass]

35. Who would be the GOPer that is more than 66 and can be elected in 2012?

Are you rooting for Newt?

[Ter]

38. Saying it's technically possible for a puke to win in 2012 isn't rooting for them

I was thinking of Ron Paul, who is polling third place. I didn't know Newtie was that old.

[Greybnk48]

10. The thought of her as the next President after Obama's

second term just gave me goose pimples!! How exciting would that be!!

[WI_DEM]

18. Why doesn't she be the best senator there can be for a few years

She'll still be in her first term. We need good people in the Senate, too.

[Donnachaidh]

19. oh hell yes!

Full bore support for this lady.

[hulka38]

20. The Democratic brand may be so damaged by then

that even a dream candidate like Warren would be up against big odds.

[MADem]

24. She first needs to wade through a primary field that includes another WARREN

Setti--who isn't unpopular in some circles. There will be debates.

I hope she does well. MA is long overdue for female representation in the Senate, and she is an exceptional talent.

Also, she does, like Obama, have "just enough" record to be a strong candidate for the seat, and in four years will have "just enough" record (but not too much) to run for the top slot.

[Auntie Bush]

26. You speak for me!

[Skidmore]

28. Yes! In my estimation, the esteemed Barbara Jordan was my choice

for first American woman president, but since that wonderful woman of integrity is not with us, I will happily support Elizabeth Warren.

[mmonk]

30. Great to know. Hope she is an option.

[Mass]

33. If she becomes senator, I dont want her to run for president.

We need a senator that cares about MA and is there for at least one term.

Actually, if this became a meme. you could be sure that Brown would use that at his advantage.

This said, she needs to win the primary first and why she is the most well-known, we have a bunch of other good progressive candidates.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

36. ...I'll vote for her.
