I'll vote for her as long as she keeps running.

When she headed up the "Super Comittee" last fall to preside over the ceiling limit debacle, her standardized responses to my e-mails were exactly what I wanted to read. At the time, there were several Democratic Senators who were willing to "cave in" to swapping a simple budget for the raping of "entitlements".

The Demcratic leadership in the Senate put her in that position for precisely that reason. Not to cave. The end result has been a continuous tumble by the GOP since then.

Her influence among progressives continues to grow.
