If not Hillary, then who?

132. Not saying I'm the only person politically engaged...

I'm saying I see no sign that the people grumbling here are. I've seen posts in the past urging financial support for an existing Democratic candidate, or petitioning for policy changes, but I've seen nothing organizing a "Draft Warren/Grayson/Brown/etc." movement, just complaining that the pro-Hillary people ARE getting organized (revelation - I've been approached by the "Ready for Hillary" people to support their efforts). Maybe Elizabeth Warren WOULD be a good candidate and maybe I would support her (I suspect that if she ran, it wouldn't be as a radical leftist who disagreed with Clinton on every policy you can think of -- much to the disappointment of some people) if she showed me that she could be competitive with independent moderate voters in the swing states. But since my information tells me she's not running (I know one of her fundraisers -- would it surprise you to know she got a lot of money from Wall Street?), I'm focusing on the people who may be. If Hillary runs, I'll support her; if she doesn't, I've reached out to Brian Schweitzer to encourage him to run. I've told him what I think his strengths are and what issue he may face. And I've told him that I'd try to rustle up support (financial and otherwise) from my friends and political acquaintances. It's an approach I'd recommend to others.
