56. Actually most answer the question, "Are you going to run" with a coy answer...

May 2014

such as 'I am focused on the issues before us' (note the non-answer answer) or they say 'I haven't considered it' or 2016 is far away, I'm focused on 2014.' The answers are given without a definitive NO.

Elizabeth Warren has given the definitive NO on multiple occasions.

It is those who refuse to understand the difference in the way potential candidates answer the question and the way those who are NOT interested in running answer the question that seem to have difficulty in understanding the "reality based universe."

It is amazing to me some want her to be lying, a trait normally abhorrent to the same people.
