(135,425 posts)Senator from Massachusetts. The guy is a MORON.
She was also a powerhouse for her financial talents and her Consumer work. Many of her colleagues admire her, and many are also irritated at her unwillingness to wait in line and honor the seniority system of the Senate.
She is a wonderful senator--just what we need. And she's just where we need her, IMO.
She is not a liberal, though. She is a moderate. I can guarantee you that she'd probably be treated worse than Obama has been by DU, should she run for the Presidency, and win--and neither is likely. See, she wouldn't be the fantasy that everyone dreams of.
If she ran against Christie, he would win in a walk (and good thing for him, since he can't run). While she has high positives amongst those who pay attention (the twenty percent or so who bother to vote in the off-years and who contribute and give a damn), she is still unknown to most Americans. Completely. Don't believe me? Go get a picture of her, stop every fifth person on a city street, and ask them who she is. You'll get plenty of "Duuuuuuh?"
You can hope for new blood, but I don't think you will get it with EW. No shooting the messenger.
