Elizabeth Warren is one of the few powerful democratic voices we have

in Congress. To lose her now will be a devastating blow if she were to compete for the Presidency. I would love for her to become the speaker. The Presidency will only minimize her ability to impact as she does now. If you don't like HIllary, find some one else, but please so not strip Congress of a much needed warrior who is not afraid to speak out while others only murmur or say nothing at all.

John Kerry lost in 2004 and kept his Senate seat. Of course, if she WON she would have to give it up, but that would not be a bad thing.
