Don't you just love our "democracy" where our "choices" are made by others ahead of time?
Why do some here feel now "is not the right time for Warren to run? If she waits eight years to run, then many of the corporatist lovers who are saying this now will claim she's too old then! Now, when the middle class needs better representation more than it has needed it for almost a century is precisely the time this party needs a populist voice like Warren's. I was convinced that she was that needed voice even before she was picked to put together the Consumer Protection Board when I saw this video many years ago that she is far more qualified to represent our middle class than most of those "more experienced" in Washington!
It's alienating our base in taking away choices like this that is precisely why so many stayed home in 2010 and gave us such gerrymandered districts in the congress and at the state level we'll have to put up with for this coming decade!
