Dec 2013

it's existence was reported here: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/10/in-secret-letter-senate-democratic-women-rally-behind-hillary-clinton/

And since none of the signators, including EW has denied it ...

Secondly, 2916 is a long way off. Its tough to think that far ahead

Apparently not ... though I would agree that 2014 is/should be more of a priority.

Thirdly, if people weren't asking Obama to run over and over again as an expression of interest while he spent years denying he would, he may never have run.

I wasn't aware there was a draft effort for Senator Obama.

Fourth, please understand that people need to have hope--even if its a fantasy--when confronted with a reality that someone they disdain so much may win the nomination. Have some empathy.

I, honestly, hadn't thought of that.

E.g., MannyGoldstein Dec 2013 #30

That's a SoS quote. She said she'd decide in 2014. joshcryer Dec 2013 #54

In addition, Warren is younger than Hillary, but is too old to run. djean111 Dec 2013 #8

And unlike Hillary, Warren never fought and won any tough political battles MannyGoldstein Dec 2013 #31

Bwah! djean111 Dec 2013 #33

It has been reported that Elizabeth Warren actually wants Hillary to run and approves of her. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2013 #51

What Warren does in the way of endorsements doesn't really interest me. djean111 Dec 2013 #52

I am curious about how she sees Hillary Clinton in light of Third Way and Corporatism. Agnosticsherbet Dec 2013 #53

I get your drift, but so far I have no reason to think that Hillary is anything but Third Way. djean111 Dec 2013 #57
