1. I voted Warren even though she would not be my first choice.
I'm more partial to Dean or Schweitzer. She is someone I could easily rally behind though. I will vote for Hillary if she is nominated, but can't bring myself to campaign for her.

5. How about Dean/Warren or Warren/Dean?
That's my favorite fantasy choice. Dean was a governor ad DNC chair, knows how to run big things, has a good heart although he's a bit to the right - but trainable. Warren is... Warren.

90. Nobody's endorsed anybody at this point.
But if Warren asks someone else to run, I going to assume she's supportive of the campaign before I try to come up with a convoluted argument like "she just wants a wide-open primary".

134. Why is that convoluted?...
I'm not sure of the reasoning about that. Just because you think someone should run if they want it, doesn't necessarily mean you are a rabid supporter.
I mean I (and the group I'm in) actually DID endorse Sawant, but that doesn't mean I agree with her "Trotskyism". |

Given the results of this poll... not so concerned anymore. I suspect the whole Party will feel this way in a year or two. But I'm sure that we'll both keep plugging away. |

43. I think this is good evidence that DU is not necessarily a proper cross section of the electorate.
I doubt many outside of politically active leftist groups even know that Elizabeth Warren exists. In a contest where name recognition is unfortunately very important, I just don't think Warren could pull through. Granted, Obama wasn't exactly a household name before the 08 election cycle.

82. Don't fool yourself into thinking DU is any exclusive and especially leftist group
It isn't special in any way from "ordinary Democratic voters" as far as ideology is concerned. If anything, DU posters may simply be more informed of news or informed at an earlier point in time.
More here may know of Elizabeth Warren. There is plenty of time for the ordinary Democratic voters to learn about her. It definitely seems there is significant reason to do so, based on this level of excitement. |

125. Ah, but here's the difference...
Neither Clinton or Warren has announced they're running. But.....
Clinton says she's thinking about it. Warren says she DOES NOT WANT TO RUN. Supporters of Clinton are raising serious money and organizing thousands of volunteers to step in if she DOES decide to run. Supporters of Warren are...posting messages here saying they hope she'll change her mind. |

136. I honestly don't think that Liz Warren will run.
The kind of money needed to run a presidential campaign nowadays is tremendous (about a billion dollars). For me the most telling factor that she was serious about not running came when her biggest money man told prospective donors (who had contacted him after the article in New Republic appeared) that she had no intention to run. It makes perfect sense to me. She never has been in elected office and she may feel that she found a perfect niche where she can make a difference.

123. That's not a good analogy.
Obama had been a state senator for some years before running. Besides, this is not 2008. Lightning doesn't strike twice. In 2008 any Democrat would have won the WH after the Bush years, the wars and the economic downturn. We will have the reverse situation in 2016, since it's the Democrats who are now in power. Whether we will keep the WH will depend on the economic situation at the time and how well the ACA is working by then.

she doesn't have the Third-Way baggage. She can credibly speak about change. She's actually effected quite a bit of change.
The economy cannot improve in any real way until we end the bipartisan love of austerity. What's a Third-Way candidate going to say: "Vote for me, I'll continue the same policies but this time it will work"? Doesn't seem like a winning pitch. |

94. Maybe because she said this the other day ...
In a Wednesday interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, who named the former first lady the "Most Fascinating Person of 2013," Clinton said she hadn't yet made up her mind on a presidential run. She assured Walters her announcement would come soon.
"Obviously, I will look carefully at what I think I can do and make that decision sometime next year," Clinton said. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/18/hillary-clinton-2016-decision_n_4470539.html That's definitely not a NO. In fact, it sort of fits the pattern of some one who is not ready to announce just yet, but who does not want the donors who are currently giving money to her support groups to stop doing so. Warren has actually said NO at a point in time at which it would impact early donors and support groups from setting up shop in caucus states. |

I'm guessing it gives you a way to still believe that Hillary won't run, and that Warren will.
And please, I'm sure you've watched plenty of politicians play the "guess if I'm running" game. They start out with "No, not running". And many never leave that place. But some, slowly shift. "It's unlikely", "Its not something I think about" Then .. "I'll make that decision down the road." So on. They hedge right up until they are ready to announce. So far, Warren is still at "Not running", and Hillary has recently jumped to "I'll make that decision some time next year." Hillary is thinking about it, and she's letting her donors know it. Warren, not so much. So please, keep this new persona around ... he's hilarious. |

With eyes on Hillary Clinton, Democrats fight to maintain digital edge
President Barack Obama’s team of 20-something data gurus gave him a major edge in 2008 and 2012 — and now they’re among the leading players in a quiet struggle for control of the Democratic data market in 2016. The biggest prize, both symbolically and financially, is a spot on the growing team surrounding Obama’s 2008 rival: Hillary Clinton. The 2016 presidential campaign will be Big Data’s biggest proving ground yet. Expect the savviest campaigns and their techies to surpass Obama’s vaunted 2012 effort, where data and analytics influenced everything from which fundraising emails went where and which ads aired when on different cable stations, to which doors got knocked and what the volunteer said when they opened. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/12/2016-digital-campaign-101180.html ![]() |

She isn't a typical politician. That's why I respect her so much. She isn't running for president no matter hard people try to delude themselves into believing otherwise. To imply that she's toying with us belittles her.
Hilary Clinton is going to run for president. Therefore, of the two, I vote for Hillary. Throw in Brian Schweitzer, Martin O'Malley and Sherrod Brown who actually might run and my answer might be different. But between a candidate who will run and a candidate who won't I'd prefer the one who will. |
