It is common for potential candidates, at this point in the game, to deny they're running, as the above video from CNN points out. Now, watch the following video from Schmoe this morning...

First she is asked "Are you goint to run for president?", to which she replies "I'm not running for president." Fine, though she did not answer the question she was asked. And, I take her at her word, literally. Right now, she is not running for president. She is being the U.S. Senator from Massachusettes. She's doing her job that she has right now.

But then, she is asked: "Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president?" Her response: "I think Hillary Clinton is terrific. We've got to stay focused on these issues, right now." Totally avoids answering the question and brings us back to RIGHT NOW.

Now, most of you (even those who don't want to see Hillary challenged) know how these things work.

Bookmark this: Elizabeth Warren will be in the presidential debates for the 2016 presidential election. If not, I'll eat ... a plate of strawberries covered in whipped cream. Ew!

EDITED TO ADD: May as well go ahead (if you can stomach it) and have a look at thise morning Schmoe segment:
