Elizabeth Warren is angry, and if she isn't running, a whole lot of trees have died in vain

39. Agreed! She knows we must put the facts out before the public. It's not about her ambitions.

The media driven horse race politicking is used to get Dems to ignore 2014. She is focusing on keeping the Senate. If we lose it, Warren and Sanders will be nothing between now and 2016. The GOP will make permanent changes. There will be no coming back to even this difficult point in time, no escaping the Tea Party dominance given them in 2010. Her book is about educating the public, not running for POTUS because:

A GOP Senate's First Target - Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Protection Agency
For years, House Republicans have been trying to gut her greatest accomplishment.

If the GOP wins the Senate, they'll no doubt use the opportunity to push through a range of measures that are kryptonite to Democratic voters—new abortion restrictions, limits on the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to combat climate change, a relaxation of the rules reining in Wall Street's worst excesses...

(Republicans have charged that the CFPB's collection of credit data is a violation of privacy, even though the bureau does not collect any personal details the consumer doesn't volunteer.)...

A Republican-controlled Senate would also likely try to eviscerate portions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform act. In 2011, Shelby introduced a bill to beef up the requirements that force banking regulators to conduct cost-benefit analyses prior to issuing any new rule—a significant hurdle. Last year, the House passed a handful of bills to deregulate derivatives, often-opaque banking products that have been demonized as "financial weapons of mass destruction." In June, House Republicans passed a bill chipping away at consumer mortgage protections...
