Responses:

"The poll numbers also suggest the Democratic Party is becoming Elizabeth Warren’s party." - David Nov 11, 07:52 2
- this I am very much in favor of. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:55 1
  - Hell yeah. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 07:56
Even though economics should be the focus, we are headed down a path where healthcare is the major issue. - David Nov 11, 07:37
I'll get sent to the corner for this, but Warren has zero charisma - she won't connect with the masses. - ty97 Nov 11, 07:31 4
- She would seem like a candidate who would fire up the liberal base, in any case - con_carne Nov 11, 08:22 1
  - The Teabaggers would loathe her... - Mel Profit Nov 11, 08:27
- as someone who's been in the room with her...you're wrong. - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:33 1
  - So all we need to do is get all registered voters in a room with her! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 11, 08:36

- I would argue Hillary is more of a populist than Obama, because of her ties to labor -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 07:50 1
  - Not with her deep ties to Wall Street and the financial sector. - Krusty Nov 11, 08:05
- Anyone who thought he was a populist wasn't not listening... - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:30 10
  - He ran on the slogan "change" -- nm - Roger More Nov 11, 07:36 5
    - That's not populism. Also, pretty much every new candidate has to do this -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 07:54
    - "change" away from Partisanship... - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:51 3
      - "change" means whatever the people hearing it think it means, and it meant a lot of things - Roger More Nov 11, 08:01 2
        
        No. Populism involves a certain "take things back from those people!" kind of message, be it "America," the means of production in Latin American - con_carne Nov 11, 08:10 1
        
        That's fair enough - he's not populist in the way that, say, Hugo Chavez, was populist. Or like the Tea Party or OWS are populist. - Roger More Nov 11, 08:28

    - you weren't paying attention then... - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:54 2
      - I completely agree. -- nm - pmb Nov 11, 08:15 1
        
        had it been a renunciation of conservatism or a call to democratic populism that would have been the last we'd heard of him. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 11, 08:25
- That's where I'm at today. Ideologically, I'm with Warren but I'm not sure she'll be able to get those ideas into practice. - Krusty Nov 11, 07:27 1
  - I didn't read the entire article but I assume it's more liberal masturbation that Warren will run against Hillary. - Mel Profit Nov 11, 07:32
"We're three years from the next presidential election..." - znufrii Nov 11, 07:20 3
- [deleted] 1
  - that's not nearly as fun. -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 07:24
- Because it's almost 2014 and this coming battle between them is on people's minds more and more each week we get closer to - Krusty Nov 11, 07:22
Warren is my hero. -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 07:20 1
- I would be fine voting for either woman. I like Warren more than Clinton and would likely vote for her in the primary but I could - Krusty Nov 11, 07:23
