I'm rather proud that the most visible Democratic Progressive, Elizabeth Warren, is endorsing HRC.

[msanthrope]

For it is Senator Warren, who has worked tirelessly for the Democratic Party, for progressive goals, and for us, who should be considered for VP.

1. VP? No way.

Why would in the world she want that job?

Besides, I doubt two women on a ticket would fly.

[msanthrope]

3. Why, precisely wouldn't two women fly? nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. A little too soon, don't you think?

After all, the first one just won the party nomination.....

[msanthrope]

11. Right...I mean it's only been 240 years of men. We haven't even had the vote for a century. nt

[boston bean]

15. He was serious! LOL

One woman is enough! Now you propose TWO??? Head is exploding.. LOL

[msanthrope]

18. I know. The idea of TWO OF THEM.....nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Oh, no. Will you toss me out of your group again?

Oh, please, not the briar patch.

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. OK, then, if you're so sure, go for it.

I say it won't work.

Plus two top-ticket candidates from neighboring northeast states is political suicide, anyway.

Thanks for the history lesson just the same........

[grasswire]

2. when was that announced?

Or is it still gossip?

[Tarc]

8. You're still holding out hope that she's gong to punk us all and endorse Bernie?

[grasswire]

10. do you have an answer to the question?

I thought not.

Still as nasty as yesterday.

[Tarc]

17. Google is your friend

Btw, I'm disappointed your 50,000th post wasn't a reply to l'il ol' me. I woulda cherished it.

[msanthrope]

20. I think I was the lucky winner. nt

[msanthrope]

13. Reuters has it....and the 2 female reporters on it are pretty reliable. nt

[boston bean]

19. Females... AGAIN! What is this world coming to?! LOL

[stonecutter357]

4. K&R!

[MineralMan]

5. I hope people listen to her.

She was many people's dream candidate. She hasn't changed. Her opinion should matter.

[spud_demon]

9. Warren is the brightest star in the Democratic Party. I hope Clinton lives up to the endorsement.nt

[MoonRiver]

21. You doubt Elizabeth Warren's judgement?

Warren knows HRC a lot better than you and I. Just saying.

[sadoldgirl]

7. What other choice did she have??????

Party über alles!

[grasswire]

12. She can choose to stay where she is.

Can you imagine working for Hillary but being constantly considered a rival??

[msanthrope]

23. Why would she be considered a 'rival?' Sure, she doesn't have the cachet of Biden and his Trans-Am,

but I think she'll be great.

[sheshe2]

25. I WANT her where she is.

She is my Senator.

I have said this time and time again, She will do the GOP the most damage where she is.

Thank you so much, you said she has a choice. Every woman has a choice.

As for your snark.

Can you imagine working for Hillary but being constantly considered a rival??

Sad how you belittle women. Your comment is sad.

[TwilightZone]

27. Like Hillary working for Obama?

That seemed to work out.

[lancer78]

14. She doesn't have to endorse

anyone. She can remain un-committed in her super-delegate role.

[Tortmaster]

26. Elizabeth Warren! Under the bus with you!

What Elizabeth Warren doesn't have is an oppositional personality. She can work with a team to get things done that she would be unable to accomplish alone. That, in fact, is why humans came together in villages, then towns and cities.

That's also why we have political parties, into which a large group of people with similar goals can join together to accomplish those goals.

On another note, I hope that if she's being considered as a running mate she has worked hard on her debating skills. She was abysmal against Scott Brown. Since her speaking has elevated a couple orders of magnitude, I suspect her debating abilities have also improved.

I would still go with Julian Castro as VP. He's a great speaker and a great debater, who has already kicked Ted Cruz' ass in a debate, and Cruz ain't no Scott Brown. Plus, he offers balance to the ticket, and Republicans are afraid of him.

I would be happy with either, or about ten others! Also looking forward to the endorsement! Thanks for the heads up.

[lancer78]

16. The VP slot

is where rivals are sent to die politically.

[k8conant]

28. I guess that means you admit that Hillary Clinton is NOT Progressive!

[JoePhilly]

29. Reading not your thing?

The "Bernie movement" was the "Warren movement" first.

Or is your point that Bernie and Warren are the only progressives in the Senate?

Regardless, Warren will endorse Hillary ... and then under the Bernie bus she goes.

[msanthrope]

30. I think they are both progressive, but I think Warren's work on consumer protection is more visible.
