30. Note: it's the END of 2013. We need a challenger NOW.

I want Warren with every fiber of my being, and I am considering writing an OP about how drafting Warren in the first two primary states should be our absolute priority, but I dunno how well it would be received by me (I had, at last count, some 30+ ignores before that feature was removed).

Someone needs to make an OP about this. If a draft Warren effort succeeds in the first two Democratic primary states, then I think she'd throw her hat in. At minimum it'd force Hillary to shift to the left. At most, Warren could win the thing!
