Elizabeth Warren refuses to commit to 2018 Senate run

[DonViejo]

It’s “too early” to commit to another term in the Senate, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a Boston television station in an interview aired Sunday. Asked by WBZ-TV’s Jon Keller whether she would promise to seeking another term by running in 2018, the liberal firebrand senator said it is “too early to talk about that.”

Warren was elected to the Senate in 2012, defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown. “What I will say is, I’m committed to getting up every single day and fighting for the families who sent me,” the freshman Democrat said.

Keller pressed on, asking again if Warren was not sure about a second term. “What I’m doing is I’m fighting for the families who are there in Massachusetts, the families who sent me,” she said.

“So you don’t want to answer that question?” the host asked.

“I don’t want to answer that question,” Warren responded.

1. Very Significant

I think she will say yes to VP for the Sanders / Warren ticket. That is my hope anyway.

5. You'll have to settle for a Sanders and someone else ticket...

two liberals from neighboring New England states won't be the 2016 ticket.

7. Why not? Bill Clinton and Al Gore were both southerners.

I think conventional wisdom does not always apply. Also she is a a woman and that dynamic might counter the neighboring states argument.

Anyway, its all what if at this point anyway.

9. I have always thought that

Whenever she has said she would not run for the Presidency in 2016, I immediately thought she wanted the Vice Presidency. That would be great if she hooked up with Sanders. He I think would be thinking if anything happened while he was in office, he would want a Vice President whose positions were totally in sync with his. That would be Warren.

Oh, in references to the same geographical area setting limits on who can run with whom, Bush* and Cheney were both residents of Texas. Cheney did a quick, quiet maneuver to acquire citizenship in Wyoming.

2. Whoa!

Would have liked to be a fly on the wall at that Biden-Warren meeting!

[RiverLover]

3. No kidding. Me too.

But even more so, the meeting btn Liz & Hillary last December.

Maybe someday she'll write a book & finally tell all.

4. Likely it had nothing to do with Veep or Biden running for pres.

Biden is president of the US Senate. Liz is a leader of that same body, and is a luminary. That he would meet with her likely means nothing about the presidential race.

People are making too much about this.

6. The fact that neither Biden, nor Warren, would say what the meeting was about

AND the fact that "Biden weighing WH bid" has been in the nooz
now for weeks, suggests to me it wasn't some routine Senate business.

You might still be right, but I wouldn't put any money on it.

[longship]

8. Well, I would not put money on a simple correlation.

Especially one based on media suppositions and projections. Is Biden really going to announce his candidacy? Or is this just media rubbish? That is the big question one must answer before one makes any correlations based on it.


My regards.
