In fact, I would not be at all surprised if he is the anointee for that spot and was recruited to enter the race in order to get national exposure. He's younger than she is, so we have the flip side version of Obama Biden in terms of age. He's Maryland, she's NY out of Arkansas. He's "law and order" and some posters are saying he's also Third Way.

As for Webb, I think Hillary should be donating to him, as McCaskill donated to Todd Akins. He can only make Hillary look good. The only point of a primary for me would be a challenge to Hillary from her left. Otherwise, it's rigged. JMO.

As for what Hillary's running on, a WSJ article from January said she had over 200 campaign advisers already.

And her Iraq War speech is an oopsie for which, eight years later, she said was a mistake, so no point to bring it up again, right? Riiiiight. And they don't. But I do and I will.

Boston Globe's Editorial Board calls on Warren to run for President. [View all] merrily Apr 2015 OP

Excuse me, but has any other newspaper called for Warren to run? Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #1

I don't know. I live in Boston. merrily Apr 2015 #2

I think this is a first, but could be wrong. The entire editorial board, very interesting Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #3

My pleasure. I thought this group would enjoy it. merrily Apr 2015 #4

um ellennelle Apr 2015 #5

Thanks..I did not check the date of the OP. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #6

Don't worry about the date of the article. Warren has said many times she is not running. merrily Apr 2015 #11

No worries, I hear what you're saying. I should have checked the date though..as the Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #27

Thanks for snarky condescension. However, this is not LBN and she's been saying she will not run merrily Apr 2015 #7

"I simply posted something positive about Warren in the Warren group." RiverLover Apr 2015 #8

You're more than welcome RiverLover. merrily Apr 2015 #10

Ummm backatcha! Don't be such a Debbie Downer! Divernan Apr 2015 #9

Cognitive dissonance. Her first post in the Warren forum is to lash out at me for posting merrily Apr 2015 #13

"but she has put the kibosh on it." So before their endorsement she said she would run? RiverLover Apr 2015 #12

Agreed. Should HRC's candidacy never materialize, or stumble/self-destruct Divernan Apr 2015 #17

You might enjoy this ... Scuba Apr 2015 #16

She is in my opinion the Democrat most likely to win. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #28

The Boston Herald is no competitor. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2015 #14

The Globe's wiki calls the Herald the Globe's chief competitor. I agree. merrily Apr 2015 #15

The NYT no longer owns The Boston Globe Fla Dem Apr 2015 #18

Thanks. merrily Apr 2015 #20

No prob. Fla Dem Apr 2015 #26

The fact remains that nothing Warren says will make HRC more acceptable or palatable. To me. djean111 Apr 2015 #19

Do you have any thoughts about why they think it so important to kill any hope of a Warren candidacy merrily Apr 2015 #21

Part of it is, and all of this is IMO, sheer hubris. Which may have been the HRC is inevitable djean111 Apr 2015 #22

Good post - thanks. Re your SCOTUS Divernan Apr 2015 #23

Exactly. I believe Hillary would appoint a corporate Jamie Dimon-approved judge, djean111 Apr 2015 #25

I think you may well be right about O'Malley merrily Apr 2015 #24

Totally on board with your post. I will not give up on Warren. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #29
