In reply to the discussion: Well This Is Awkward (Elizabeth Warren at Netroots Nation) [View all]IrishAyes
(6,151 posts)125. Well, I love HRC and Warren both.
Either would suit me just fine, thank you everyone. I'm disinclined to fret. If both should run, luckily my state primary's late enough in the game that I should have a pretty good idea which one has the better chance of winning the WH. That's the one I'll vote for; no apologies. I've never considered it good for the country to hold my breath and pout because my favorite Democrat lost a nomination to another Democrat, especially one I like just about as well. They may be different, but each has a strong side.

Fact: a POTUS can't focus the way a Senator can. Warren is focused like a laser right now. ...
