56. I agree... Warren is my favorite... Here's my list of who I'd like to see consider running...

Mon Jul 8, 2013, 01:07 PM

Jul 2013

Elizabeth Warren
Russ Feingold
Jeff Merkley
Tom Harkin
Alan Grayson
Pete DeFazio
Bernie Sanders (though he probably won't run, especially as a Democrat that he'd need to run as)
Howard Dean

I think I'd consider Sherod Brown on this list. He's doing some good things, though I want to see more.
