The Democrats have a deep bench this year.

I'm quite prepared to believe that Warren may be the best person on it, but I'd be very surprised if she were a whole senate seat's worth better than the next best person (even if you exclude Brown and Booker), and if not, I hope she's not picked - I'm dubious about Reid's ability to work magic.
