2. I would love to see Warren in the White House, but I think it's time to look elsewhere.

These people should be considering whether their goals would be met by supporting someone who's more likely to run. The obvious possibilities would be Chafee, O'Malley, Sanders, and Webb.

If for some reason they don't like any of them, then they should at least be thinking of candidates who haven't already been urged to run, for months, with no visible effect. Maybe Sherrod Brown has said he isn't running but he hasn't said it nearly as often as Warren has.

I'd love for Sherrod to run. Gravelly voice & all. RiverLover Apr 2015 #5

His reasoning? PADemD Apr 2015 #3

It's in the article. He wants her as a stalking horse only. hedda_foil Apr 2015 #4

That's exactly what they want from Elizabeth Warren. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #10

If that is the only reason, to be used to TRY to make Hill a better candidate, then RiverLover Apr 2015 #6

"to keep Hilary fresh in the public eye; Elizabeth Warren should run against her.” fuck that Autumn Apr 2015 #7

As I & others here predicted, Elizabeth WILL run & on her own terms. It's a smart strategy too-wait & watch Hillary, a notoriously bad campaigner, self-destruct. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #8

Interesting timing. Are they hoping to split the vote between Bernie and Warren?... cascadiance Apr 2015 #11

Urging Elizabeth to run for the purpose of making Hillary look better sucks, IMO. merrily May 2015 #12
