The case for Elizabeth Warren for president, in 7 minutes

BY CHRIS CILLIZZA

There's only one person in the Democratic party who has a credible path to beating Hillary Rodham Clinton in a 2016 Democratic primary. And her name is Elizabeth Warren.

As we've written before, Warren has the national profile, the liberal icon status and the demonstrated fundraising capacity -- $40 million for a Senate race ain't too shabby -- that would, theoretically give her a chance to run as the liberal/non-establishment alternative to Clinton. Now, we don't think she's running. And, even if she did Clinton would be tough to beat. But, Warren went to Minnesota over the weekend to headline the Humphrey-Mondale dinner, a fundraiser for the state Democratic party, and showed why she would create some nervousness in the Clinton ranks if she did change her mind.

The entire video runs just under 7 minutes and is worth watching. But, if you're a skimmer, just watch the first 15 seconds or so.
