(22,271 posts)including Ted Kennedy to back her Consumer Protection Agency. That was her baby. But that's not the point. The point is voter apathy and what to do about it. I posited that we need better candidates who will inspire people to get out the vote. Elizabeth Warren, after just 2 years in the Senate has proposed more legislation than many Senators who have been there 10 times longer. That shows that she's willing to fight for the people and that has made her one of the most popular politicians in the nation. Why do you think the Democrats are trotting her out around the nation? Why do you think her name is in the subject line of every e-mail from the Democrats who come begging for money. Because inspiration doesn't matter? Of course it matters! It's the whole ballgame. But you're not going to inspire people by offering up candidates who have nothing more to offer other than, "I'm not a Republican." You're going to inspire people by what the candidate says and DOES.
