Eliz. Warren would be a good fit on banking.

I spoke with Tim Johnson d- SD chairman & Harry Reed's office & told them "screw us around & 2014 will be like 2010".

Then I pointed out in OH, PA & CT GOPs (senate) with $100,000,000 between them lost & money does not matter anymore, we have our own sources of info & brainwashing is dead.

At any rate if the lobbyists do not like Warren, then get another job.

Tim Johnson the chairman has an election in 2014.
