11. I really like Warren, but she'll need to get up to speed on areas outside her expertise.

I'd love to see her rip the bankers to shreds--my gosh, she named names!

If we went into an economic meltdown during her terms in office, she wouldn't staff the Treasury with Citibank and Goldman Sachs alums, and that would be fabulous.

But what if the problem is war or internal unrest? I know Sen. Warren is extremely bright and her heart is in the right place, but she's really put her intellectual and political eggs in one basket.

Don't get me wrong, I'd spend long hours at the phone bank for her (too many old injuries to knock on doors anymore), but I'd like to hear from her with respect to other issues, and with respect to any administrative work that she's done.
