But I am really impressed with O'Malley's ability to fight.
And yes, regardless of the outcome in NOV re POTUS and assuming Warren wins. One term Senator is good enough and probably more efficacious than additional terms these days.

Let's get some good Irish people elected to replace some of these Irish assholes that give the rest of us a bad name, i.e. Ryan, the Fitzgeralds, etc.

Warren will certainly be in contention *only* if she beats Scott Brown.

The credential is important because a candidate with more experience:
1) will probably be a better President.
2) will probably be a stronger candidate against the Republican in November.
3) will probably be a stronger candidate against Cuomo in the primaries.
