her. And as well-funded as MoveOne.org, even if they were to join forces with other progressive action groups, they can't match the money Wall Street will deluge the candidates with this coming election cycle.

I love Senator Warren, and I do hope she'll run because she'll have my vote in the primaries, but above all else, I want a Democrat in the White House because of three potential Supreme Court seats - Bader-Ginsberg, Kennedy, and Scalia - that will be up for replacements in the next decade. I don't want a Republican President to choose their successors.
