So, this guy has a point - Warren fails to unequivocally, totally, ‘Don’t ever ask me again’ deny...

[RiverLover]

In an interview with Fortune, Warren gave this answer to the pretty straightforward question of “Are you going to run for President?”

"No"

Such a terse reply, issued without any explanation, is an unconvincing way to anesthetize speculation that she may mount a bid for the highest office in the land. The very word “no” is meaningless. Former Republican nominee Mitt Romney, for instance, used the word 12 times last year to say that he wouldn’t run again: “Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.” Now there are multiple reports saying Romney is this close to entering the race.

We’re to believe that one “no” will do? Looks like somebody’s at least 1/12 short.

It’s not like Warren’s interviewer, Sheila Bair, did the general public any favors. Bair should’ve done what any good journalist is trained to do: Make Warren repeat the question back to her and answer in complete sentence form using at least three adverbs while placing one hand on a copy of “Hard Choices.”

1. I hope she can be convinced to run. She has a much better chance to win than ....

... Bernie, Sherrod and a handful of others who also (and in some cases, better) represent progressive values.

2. Me too. But I actually think Sherrod Brown would have a great shot at winning the nom & GE

as well. But the rumor I've heard here by people who claim to know him is that his wife has absolutely forbidden it and he's happy where he is. But this is good stuff, and I'd LOVE for him to change his mind as well~

Potential 2016 Democratic Presidential Candidate

U.S. Senator from Ohio
Sherrod Brown

Sherrod Campbell Brown
Born: September 9th, 1952 (age 62)

The two-term Senator and former seven-term House member from Ohio is possibly the closest true liberal in Congress today. While it is easy to simply pigeon-holed him as an anti-Bush, anti-war and anti-business activist, it would disregard his starring role in the liberal movement over the last two decades.

The sneakers-wearing one-time college professor’s advocacy of stem-cell research and minimum wage increase, along with his votes against raising the retirement age and free trade agreements, and his critique of big businesses influence on politics, are just some of the stances that has turn him into one of the most prominent flag bearers of the liberal cause.

His commitment to the unions and aggressive trade protectionism is perfectly illustrated by a signboard hung outside the Ohio Democratic Party headquarters, which reads: “Only vehicles assembled by union workers in North America are welcome in this parking lot.”

3. I like Sherrod's principles even better than I like Warren's, but she's got appeal he doesn't have.

She's simply more charismatic, and sadly, that matters.

[RiverLover]

4. Yeah, you're speaking the truth. Sadly. And his voice isn't very clear & strong like hers either.

Shame these things matter.

5. Maybe you could start a Sherrod Brown group! That would be cool. n/t

10. "...possibly the closest true liberal in Congress today...."

I beg to differ as Senator Sanders is my choice for this prestiges title.



Just sayin.

[Enthusiast]

6. Elizabeth Warren for president!

[Orsino]

7. She would have been a fool to say "never."

I guess we're to take this answer for the '16 cycle. I believe it.

[Dustlawyer]

8. She is not running for President, she will be running as Bernie's VP! Then she will run for

President after Bernie!
(Starting a rumor) lol

9. I "absolutely ... wont run" is completely meaningless

It's been said over and over by politicians who were already preparing to run but didn't want it known yet, and others who changed their mind when they saw who else is running.
