worked so well for her last time 
actually, in truth, obama was the only sort of candidate who could realistically beat the inevitability strategy. someone young with huge potential and not well known on the national stage, willing to take perhaps a long-shot because it would position himself well for a subsequent run. more seasoned politicians know to just get out of the way of that steamroller because there isn't much upside for them in losing.
warren has a bit of that going for her, but i just don't see her as being willing to take time away from her pet issues to position herself for a possible serious run in 8 years. that's a big difference between her and obama; obama very clearly had presidential ambition and potential written all over him from the get-go; warren has wonk written all over her. warren wants to make a difference, especially fighting for consumer protections, and she's in a very good place to make a difference where she is. obama's never viewed his senate tenure as anything other than a stepping-stone.
