Followers across the country begged Warren to run for president. So far, shes instead using her clout to push President Obama on policy and appointments and prod Hillary Clinton toward a sharper focus on income inequality.
And now Vice President Joe Biden is seeking Warrens blessing and fund-raising apparatus as he mulls a 2016 presidential run. The prospect of a Biden-Warren ticket is also being floated by the Biden camp as a way to shift Democrats to an alternative to Clinton and her e-mail mess.
However this plays out, Biden needs Warren. She doesnt need him. Biden-Warren The Dems Plan B, as the Boston Herald put it is not just about putting a woman on the ticket. Its about pairing Biden with a charismatic, policy-smart progressive who just happens to be female.

Editorial: Democrats need Warrens voice in 2016 race
While Warren has repeatedly vowed that she wont run for president herself, she ought to reconsider.
In July, a Time magazine cover put these words next to Warrens picture: Shes hounding Obama, haunting Hillary, and paving the way for Bernie Sanders. When a female politician is doing all that, you know the guys are paying attention.

that believes Wall Street should be held accountable. (there is no Uber-Left)
Contrary to the bullshit we constantly hear from Fox "News" and the rest, allowing institutionalized fraud is not a conservative attribute.
Expecting Wall Street to operate within the law is not a solely liberal characteristic.
We don't like thieves and crooks when they destroy the economy!
