the NY media, a close friend of Hillary who most definitely will be behind all efforts to sell her candidacy to the public.

I used to be totally in agreement with her on Hillary who I met and supported before she became a Bush war supporter, iffy on torture and a revealed her Corporate ties and support for Wall St.

But I have no doubt that the kingmakers, ARE behind pushing her on the people at this early stage, no doubt whatsoever. And they are good at what they do.

I suggested Warren because a recent poll of Progressives showed her BEATING Hillary if she were to run. Nothing to do with whether I would personally choose her. So far and since he has suggested he will consider running, Sen. Sanders would be my choice, no matter what letter he places after his name. He speaks for Progressives on almost every issue. Hillary does not.
