I believe she will because she exudes something lacking on both sides at the moment ...

Maybe she just isn't a cheap politician that would exploit such a manufactured scandal.

Spot on! Warren motivates even the disenchanted politically astute to work harder

I would get on a bus to help her campaign, or walk if needed, gladly. Motivated, highly.

Absolutely, Krugman too. Totally clean house from the previous regime. The 90s are long over.

Doesn't count cuz they're bashing Obama and Clinton...not Warren. 100% positive for Warren here!
