From Elizabeth. You folks on the Hillary mailing list should get some updated quotes, figures, poll numbers, and talking points.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/04/09/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton-may-or-may-not-be-the-future-of-the-democratic-party/

On the question if Hillary is the future of the Party.

"Well, I think we have to see, first of all, if she declares, and what she says she wants to run on," Warren said on CBS This Morning. "I think that's really the interesting question at this point.”

That sounds far short of an endorsement from the political figure who has emerged as the darling of the Democrats' progressive wing. Warren has repeatedly said she will not run in 2016, and has made no clear moves toward a reconsideration of that stance. Still, a persistent group of disaffected Democrats is urging Warren to challenge Clinton from the left.

In a sometimes testy exchange, Warren was pressed on whether Clinton represents what Warren thinks the party ought to be.

“I don't think the Democratic Party is a static thing," Warren said. "The Democratic Party grows. The Democratic Party is full of energy right now. The Democratic Party is very much about drawing contrasts, frankly, with the Republican Party.”


So a week ago, Warren was wondering if Hillary would actually run. Hmmmm. Perhaps they're not the BFF that we've been led to believe.

If you don't like that link. Here's another. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/02/elizabeth-warren-hillary-clinton_n_6991314.html

So what will Hillary do? Will she go with the rich and shameless and continue protecting her friends on Wall Street? Or will she try and subvert the Warren Supporters who think Wall Street should be reformed by the short and curlies until they squeal? I'm betting empty rhetoric. If Wall Street squeals, it will be with delight.
