Elizabeth Warren refuses to say it... [View all]

She refuses to say "I am not going to run for president."

She repeated, yet again, to Bob Sheiffer this morning, that "I am not running for president."

I'd take "I am not going to run for president in 2016" ... or ... "I am not going to run for president, ever" ... or ... "I have no interest in being president" ... or ... "Are you kidding me? Who would want that job?"

I'm willing to accept her serving out her senate term. That places her in good timing to get some groundwork done and then to run for president in 2020. I do hope, however, that she pulls a Barack Obama and runs in 2016 despite her ambiguous oft-repeated, singular declaration.
