Whowzer! Bill and Hillary In Their Prime

[MADem]

49. I am going to want to see a link to prove that assertion, because I can't find her saying that

anywhere. I have looked for "I registered as an independent" or words to that effect from Warren, and I can't put those words in her mouth. She did say she voted for both Ds and Rs because she didn't want one party to "dominate," but she also said -- more than once-- that she was a REPUBLICAN.

I can put "I was a Republican" in her mouth--OFTEN. Links elsewhere in this thread are very clear on that score. Not just "I was a Republican for five years" either. Those five years are known because the PA voting records are public--and George Stephanopolous's staff went looking for them.

For all those quaking on the right at the sight of an ascendant Warren, rest easy. Warren’s no lefty. In fact, Warren was a registered Republican into her 40s. When it comes to ideology, Warren makes for a rotten heir to Kennedy.

But here's where a lot of the "agita" is coming from, I suspect--and way too many useful tools are going along with it:

On cable television and in private strategy sessions, conservatives are steadily stoking the flames of a movement to recruit Ms. Warren, who has said she will not run but whose anti-Wall Street economic message resonates with the liberal base of the Democratic Party.
...An easy path to the nomination could allow Mrs. Clinton to enter a general election with more funding than the Republican nominee, who would have had to spend heavily to beat a wide field of competitors. Ms. Warren represents Republicans’ best hope for an expensive, prolonged battle for the Democratic nomination, weakening Mrs. Clinton along the way, political operatives on both sides say.
