Did Elizabeth Warren Just Change Her Tune on Running for President?

[Veilex]

Senator Elizabeth Warren gave an interview to People magazine for this week’s issue and was asked for roughly the thousandth time if she planned to run for president. But her answer to this query was different than all the others:


But is the freshman senator from Massachusetts herself on board with a run for the White House? Warren wrinkles her nose.

“I don’t think so,” she tells PEOPLE in an interview conducted at Warren’s Cambridge, Massachusetts, home for this week’s issue. “If there’s any lesson I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s don’t be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open.”

She just doesn’t see the door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue being one of them. Not yet, anyway. “Right now,” Warren says, “I’m focused on figuring out what else I can do from this spot” in the U.S. Senate.

As a veteran Warren-watcher, I can say with certainty this is more ambiguous than she’s ever been on the subject. “I don’t think so,” “amazing doors that could open,” and “right now” are the traditional vernacular of a someone flirting with a campaign—-and someone who wants you to know it.

1. Indeed!

[RobertEarl]

3. Who could have forseen this occurrence? nt

6. Because the best selling book and the national tour was to prove to everyone

that she is NOT running! Not right now...

4. She's....

...waffling!

5. Sounds like she may have cracked it open for a peek.

7. K&R

This is the best news I've heard since at least yesterday, when we heard that the polls were open in Texas and thousands of newly registered voters were streaming to the polls. Wouldn't it just be dandy if she would enter the race and run against you know who. A final battle for the heart of the Democratic Party, once and for all!!!!

8. I wonder if Bernie has spoken to her about the VP spot?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. oooh! that would be the next logical step.

After PBO, the door to change is opening more. (The pukes going ever more haywire as PBO has had to manage through their disgusting freak-outs.)

Seems like the time is right for this. If we can overcome the trolling and our own endless intellectualizing over everything, and keep getting the truth out there in spite of the media wall-to-wall lies.

DAMMIT, i sure hope so, anyway.

9. This would be a great change of the field.

I respect her staying responsible to her constituents but If her future lies in saving America from the status quo, who could argue.

11. I hope so!

E. Warren kicks much ass!

[cascadiance]

12. Please...

A lot of people seem to be ready for that to happen!

13. No, she did not changed her tune

She's STILL not running for President

[Enthusiast]

14. K&R! I get the distinct impression that Elizabeth Warren is running for president.

And that would make me happy.

[JaneyVee]

15. Also, no one would announce this early.

So she may be running but smartly not announcing it yet. No one wants to be hounded by the press 2 years before the election.

16. I can name that tune in one word,

"Run!"
