Why Elizabeth Warren Should Stay Where She Is

11. So apparently his dream is Hillary in the White House?

His argument rings hollow.

First, she might actually win if she runs, which would be huge, and I mean huge.

Second, many Senators run and keep their seats when they lose. She could make a lot of noise for some arguments that desperately need to be made in this country. In my opinion she would do this better than anyone else out there. In doing so, she could advance the causes we believe in, bring the Democratic Party back into people's minds as a protector of the little guy, and prepare the ground for a real progressive uprising.

"and, considering she hasn't done anything you do to start a presidential campaign yet, that's the way to bet right now"

That's a great response to all of those posts about how we need to solely focus on 2014 until after those elections. Pre-2016 positioning and decisions about running are happening NOW. If we don't mobilize for an alternative candidate now, we'll be left with Hillary and possibly a token liberal that runs to et the message out but that doesn't actually wage a full campaign, such as we've seen from Kucinich.

"and then her message goes down the memory hole. "

Makes no sense whatsoever, I think her message would be amplified.

I've only read the posted excerpts, not the full article, so responses are limited to that.

I'm open to Warren alternatives, I'm not open to sitting around saying nothing while the party lines up behind Hillary.
