It doesnt mean they lied, it doesnt mean I dont believe her. I believe her that she isnt running and doesnt plan to run. I dont believe that precludes her from running.

Also, until people want to start their campaign, they have to have the stance that they arent running. Babs Bush said her fav son isnt running. Well, bad example, she probably is lying. My point is that it's necessary to say you arent running unless you are ready to face the onslaught of media.

Having said that, Sen Warren most likely recognizes that she cant fight the Democratic Machine in Wash the DC. Ned Lamont found that out. So if she ever wants the blessing of the Democratic Machine, she best not challenge their "chosen one."

My hope is that the populace movement can get strong enough to influence the Democratic Machine to the point that they may accept Sen Warren. I doubt that the Wall Street Oligarchs will do that tho. I think we need to try and not sit back and let Wall Street run over us.
