Aggressive Effort Underway to Recruit Elizabeth Warren

[DonViejo]

The New York Observer “has obtained private email correspondence among a small group of Democratic insiders that reveals a plan to recruit Sen. Elizabeth Warren to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president.”

“The email, sent by Niko Elmaleh to a group that includes Andy Tobias, who has been the treasurer of the Democratic National Committee since Bill Clinton was president, and Jim Dean, the chairman of the nation’s largest political action committee, Burlington, Vt.-based Democracy for America.”

1. It was kind of an asinine letter from what was in another OP.

The guy only wanted her in the primary to make people like Clinton more, then wanted her to 'bow out'. He didn't want her in it to try and win, only to make Hillary look better. Total asshat.

(Edit: But, I did get a chuckle out of

According to one prominent Democrat who is familiar with the email but would not comment on it by name for fear of alienating powerful party professionals, Mr. Elmaleh’s email was responded to harshly by its recipients, who told him it was “foolish and undisciplined to put that in writing.”

They're willing to talk about it, but he broke the cardinal rule, and left evidence.)

2. WTF. Howard Dean endorsed Hillary early on, but his brother supposedly wanted Warren.

Apparently the latter was fake?

What an utterly insulting request.
