Video: Elizabeth Warren definitively declares she is not running for President in 2016

[Douglas Carpenter]

38. I guess then progressives need to find another candidate they can coalesce around in 2016

Names and personalities are relatively unimportant - What matters is that there is at last one serious and viable candidate who will champion progressive issues and raise the progressive flag in 2016.

Here is one possibility - one I would actually prefer - Sen. Sanders indicates he would run if no one else were willing to champion the main progressive issues - If Sen. Warren is not running - then quite likely no will be championing progressive issues.

Sanders for President?: He says there's a 1 percent chance he'll run in 2016 - Video

Sanders for President?: He says there's a 1 percent chance he'll run in 2016 as a way to force the country's prospective leaders into a debate over the share of wealth going to America's top 1 percent. “I worry very much that those issues are not being discussed,” Sanders told WCAX-TV. "That is the most important domestic issue that we have got to talk about." Sanders cited a lack of jobs for young adults and a rising percentage of the country slipping into poverty, but said he'll only run if no one else is willing to champion those issues
