Feb 2013


I'd be happy to support Elizabeth Warren for president. If she disappoints us before then, then I may just change my mind.

I think it's gonna be Jeb on the other ticket. He will be a formidable opponent because he's got that well-oiled machine and the world's most powerful family backing him up.
I voted Other. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2013 #1
Like Obama did? nt MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #3
Obama was not the barn-burning Senator that Ms. Warren is. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2013 #6
Obama was an Illinois State Senator for EIGHT YEARS before becoming a U.S. Senator. Tx4obama Feb 2013 #7
He was a constitutional law professor too, MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #15
Regarding Warren there are MANY issues including her views re foreign policy we know nothing about Tx4obama Feb 2013 #18
Please name a major issue on which her views are not known. MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #19
I gave you a link. Her record is thin and many issues there she has never stated her position on. Tx4obama Feb 2013 #20
Yes, that's a link. Can you name one? nt. MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #21
Yes, I can, more than one actually. If you click on the link you will see quite a few of them :) Tx4obama Feb 2013 #22
That page is neither comprehensive nor authoritative. MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #25

Warren's got a formidable weapon, too: MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #33
Adulation for politicians is not healthy.l cali Feb 2013 #45
Eliz.Warren said EVERYTHING is on the table with Iran. EVERYTHING means EVERYTHING graham4anything Feb 2013 #54
I agree with you. Although I think she would be a good president. She needs to build southernyankeebelle Feb 2013 #52
No; too soon. elleng Feb 2013 #2
She has the right and a base of support to run, but i am with Hillary. hrmjustin Feb 2013 #4
Both of them are probably too old to run in 2016. JDPriestly Feb 2013 #43
Yes. Whisp Feb 2013 #5
I like her a lot but feel she'd need a stong VP at her side. But YES, I'd vote for her! n/t Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #8
Nope. We need her in the Senate. nt longship Feb 2013 #9
Ya know, why the fuck not? It's not like experience is really an issue, and at least Egalitarian Thug Feb 2013 #10
Sometimes you are more powerful as a Senator. Jennicut Feb 2013 #11
I guess some lawn in Connecticut has its gnome back now. Manifestor_of_Light Feb 2013 #32
Depends- do you want her to ruin her chances? brooklynite Feb 2013 #12
I want her to be in the perfect job she is in.Why would you want someone to replace her? graham4anything Feb 2013 #13
i think 2016 is too early, she would have to start campaigning early JI7 Feb 2013 #14
Not yet. nt EastKYLiberal Feb 2013 #16
No, I'd like her to do her job and smack the bankers. MrSlayer Feb 2013 #17
She appears to be better than the usual crop of 3rd Way candidates we get stuck with. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2013 #23
I'd love to see her run someday, but I think 2016 might be too early. winter is coming Feb 2013 #24
I want her to be a bulldog in the senate for a bit. nt Ed Suspicious Feb 2013 #26
This is a false choice. Firebrand Gary Feb 2013 #27
Executive Savior treestar Feb 2013 #55
Give her a chance to get settled. I think she might have a tough time if she tries to run. MADem Feb 2013 #28
If Elizabeth Warren WANTS to run for president in 2016, then go kick some ass Ma'am.... Rowdyboy Feb 2013 #29
Over Hillary. Nope. dkf Feb 2013 #30
What is it about Hillary that makes you feel this way? nt MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #34
Hillary has seen it all and she knows how to play it. dkf Feb 2013 #39
agree 100% Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2013 #49
As it stands now, heck yes. DevonRex Feb 2013 #35
Sure, why not? Jamaal510 Feb 2013 #36
Yes. I would prefer her to Hillary. Hillary is a little too conservative for Cleita Feb 2013 #37
I voted yes but this is really premature. She is just really starting her role in official public CTyankee Feb 2013 #38

Doesn't really matter one way or another. Odds are, she won't. She ain't stupid. cali Feb 2013 #44
Contested primary, now why the hell would we do that davidpdx Feb 2013 #46
It's fine if she runs, but it's an undertaking I don't see her having the experience for cali Feb 2013 #47
I honestly don't think she will either davidpdx Feb 2013 #48
Struggled? MannyGoldstein Feb 2013 #56
I would have liked to see different choices for sure. Like No, Warren not Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2013 #50
I'd rather see her on the Supreme Court Mz Pip Feb 2013 #51
I really don't care at this point treestar Feb 2013 #53
