Feb 2014

and is putting her support behind Hillary.

In that context, it's important to take the report of this letter with a grain of salt.

K&R! Well-written post and concurr 100%. BlueCaliDem Feb 2014 #1

Senator Warren is supporting Hillary for President. David Zephyr Feb 2014 #5
of course she has to say that at this point in time. Whisp Feb 2014 #6
She didn't have to say anything. She could have used... Walk away Feb 2014 #22
If you are referring to that 'secret letter' of support Whisp Feb 2014 #68
That's a fastenating theory! Walk away Feb 2014 #99

Since you can't vote in the US, it really doesn't matter who you support in 2016. Beacool Feb 2014 #76
I suppose you aren't aware that American Presidents have effect Whisp Feb 2014 #80
You can like or dislike anyone you want, but you still can't vote here. Beacool Feb 2014 #85
Why don't you do a poll and see how many of us furiners here Whisp Feb 2014 #93

No. MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #10

Depends on the circumstances, of course. nt MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #16
I think the reference is to the "Secret Letter" signed Maedhros Feb 2014 #48
That secret wasn't secret long, was it? Whisp Feb 2014 #69
A ruse? Beacool Feb 2014 #77
It's a possibility. Maedhros Feb 2014 #82
Yes, but there's a little bitty detail, she's not running for office at this point in time. Beacool Feb 2014 #86
She IS the presumed nominee, no? [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2014 #88
By the media, who are flogging that meme daily. Beacool Feb 2014 #90
She will not choose not to run. joshcryer Feb 2014 #105
I'm not flogging anything, none of us know whether she is running or not. Beacool Feb 2014 #118
A secret encouragement. MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #81
That's the inscrutable part. Maedhros Feb 2014 #84
Because it was a private letter of encouragement. Beacool Feb 2014 #87
Oh, I have no doubt she is personally quite charming. Maedhros Feb 2014 #91
Apparently because it was a slip of the tongue. Beacool Feb 2014 #119
Alleged letter. Maedhros Feb 2014 #123
Oh, for goodness sakes!!! Beacool Feb 2014 #124
This letter is being cited as hard evidence that Elizabeth Warren isn't running for President Maedhros Feb 2014 #125

The letter was likely a general "I support a run" thing. joshcryer Feb 2014 #104
