One person said the effort was not so much a bid to get the Massachusetts senator to run but to “Warrenize Hillary” by pushing her to adopt more liberal policies.

The right would love it if we crippled our candidate somehow, but we can make our candidate, whoever that is, stronger with these type of actions.

We're still hoping. It'd be nice to see a Democrat run for president. It's been a while.

From Ready For Warren~

Last night, MSNBC reported this:

"In a major boost for the liberals hoping to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren into the 2016 presidential race, New York’s Working Families Party voted Sunday evening to join the effort to push Warren to run against likely candidate Hillary Clinton."

That's right -- this movement just got a lot bigger.

There HAS to be something to this. She could shut it down with a phone call to MoveOn & Ready For Warren...but she hasn't.
