She knows what she wants. And it's not the Presidency, or Vice Presidency. CaliforniaPeggy Nov 2013 #1

You make a good point. She does know what she wants. Laelth Nov 2013 #36

I missed the part where she said she wouldn't run if drafted. Scuba Nov 2013 #2

Lol! stevenleser Nov 2013 #3

Did you really think she'd say 'yes'? Scuba Nov 2013 #10

It means she isn't running. She didn't use wiggle room terminology stevenleser Nov 2013 #15

You read a lot more into her statement than many. And it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind Scuba Nov 2013 #27

In 2006, Obama was still denying any intention to run in '08. Jackpine Radical Nov 2013 #4

"Denying intent" is not equal to "I am not running" stevenleser Nov 2013 #5

No way can Hillary excite progressives, regardless of who she might pick for VP. Scuba Nov 2013 #12

That's your opinion based on your own feelings only. Nt stevenleser Nov 2013 #16

Yep, I'm the only one here. Yeah, that's it. Scuba Nov 2013 #24

You can't speak for all or even most progressives. Nt stevenleser Nov 2013 #26

And you don't speak for Elizabeth Warren. Scuba Nov 2013 #28

Unlike you, I didn't claim to. She spoke for herself in a video stevenleser Nov 2013 #29

So, you're saying that Warren is as much a political sellout as Obama is, right? brooklynite Nov 2013 #34

I'm wondering what the earliest time to announce is on the record? Whisp Nov 2013 #6

If a candidate says "I'm not running, go do something else" it matters stevenleser Nov 2013 #7

Obama announced VERY early. hedda_foil Nov 2013 #19

Thank you, Senator. longship Nov 2013 #9

so did Barack Obama back in 2006 or 7. nt LaydeeBug Nov 2013 #11

No, he didn't. Nt stevenleser Nov 2013 #14

YES, he did. LaydeeBug Nov 2013 #23

You said 2006-2007. He declared in 2007. Nt stevenleser Nov 2013 #25

No. I said 2006 **OR** 2007, and he said he wasn't in 2006. YOU'RE WELCOME. nt LaydeeBug Nov 2013 #31

EW knows she can probably be more productive where she is. nt Tarheel_Dem Nov 2013 #13

Why does that make some posters so pleased. Union Scribe Nov 2013 #17

She is a great lady. William769 Nov 2013 #18

Exactly. stevenleser Nov 2013 #21

Watch while I yawn. RagAss Nov 2013 #20

Folks, getting mad at me won't make Warren run. It won't change reality. stevenleser Nov 2013 #22

Good! Now we can lockdown HRC and move on to the Senate... bluedeathray Nov 2013 #37

I guess then progressives need to find another candidate they can coalesce around in 2016 Douglas Carpenter Nov 2013 #38

If not Warren, then whom? Laelth Nov 2013 #39

Too bad. Hopefully, there will still be a liberal/progressive challenger to Hillary. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2013 #40
