<<If one of your choices can stand up and win it's a beginning>> I am newly heartened that could happen since Lawrence O'Donnell explained we have a blue wall of 250 electoral votes which a Democratic Bugs Bunny could win. If we add West Virgina it is 270 and that is it. So it looks like we can run Warren or a Klobachur, or anyone of a number of liberals. I would really like to see a woman run. Gillibrand or Macaskill. Then Charlie Cook said he felt there was only a 25/30% chance Hillary would run. I personally don't see how she does it as she would have to take on wall street and she is too in bed with them; and I feel the liberals will press any candidate in that regard after being disappointed in Obama's refusal to go after the plutocrats.. Biden is a non starter as well. He had his chance. I could see a number of women in the senate that might run if it becomes wide open. But Warren has the lead and her lead keeps increasing. For a long shot I would include Klobachur as she is a winner i.e. the type of person people like no matter what party and is a hard core life long liberal. But if we do elect Warren I have no doubt she will bring in Stiglitz, Romer, and Krugman to break up the banks and tame Wall street. She is fearless and knows exactly what she has to do.
