(7,018 posts)not locked/loaded, nor do I want to shoot the messenger. I am glad to learn that you
not only like Elizabeth Warren, but that you had taken a very active part on her behalf
when she was a candidate for senator from Mass.
Yes, I think she is a very fine human being, and I admire her for it. I have mixed feelings
about her spending lots of time with her constituents. It depends on how she does it, of
course. I can't help but think of Gabby Giffords. You know, there are so many crazies
around. I hope she is more careful.
I think it's proper that Sen. Kennedy's desk should go to another senator from the same
state. How is that bucking the system? About Feinstein, I was giving my opinion about
what I think of her functioning as a senator, and that length of service is not necessarily
an indication of how good an individual is at the job. Of course, this may not have much
to do with seniority either.
If Elizabeth Warren said that she wasn't interested in running for POTUS, then the chances
of her running in 2016 are, as you say, very small, (here comes a "but" but I'm not
giving up hope that she can be persuaded to change her mind. A lot, I suppose, could
also depend on how events will develop in the time between now and then.
