“My own view is that you rarely go back a generation. We’ve passed that generation onto Obama’s generation,” Dean said, who is a year younger than Clinton. “It’s unusual to go back. It’s only happened once in my political lifetime, which is with Carter to Reagan.”

A little irony there - Obama said that 25 years ago he would be considered a moderate Republican - IMO that is what Hillary is, at best.

I know they are pretty much the same age, but Warren, to me, is of a different generation - POLITICALLY - than Hillary.
