Elizabeth Warren: I hope Hillary Clinton runs for president [View all]

She also admits to signing the declaration urging Hillary to run:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she hopes Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for president in 2016 — the latest in a series of declarations of support by the Massachusetts Democrat, who some have speculated could seek the Oval Office herself.

"All all of the women — Democratic women I should say — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.

Warren is a favorite among many liberal Democrats, and the release of her new book, "A Fighting Chance," has stoked speculation that she may consider a presidential run in 2016. Warren has repeatedly insisted she will not run for president.

"I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president." Warren said in a series of video clips shown prior to the interview.

This makes sense. Warren is a liberal Dem and liberal Dems suupport Hillary by HUGE margins. It's actually moderate and conservative Dems that aren't as supportive of Hillary:

She said she'll decide by the end of this year. joshcryer Apr 2014 #67

Hillary was the only candidate in 2008 that was MORE conservative than Obama, bvar22 Apr 2014 #59
