There are three possible causes of Elizabeth Warren signing a letter asking Hillary Clinton to run

1) She's a political coward who couldn't say no to five other women Senators

2) She wants to make her own run for President harder

3) She actually wants Hillary Clinton to be President

Now, which one makes sense.....

I know this because Warren is not an actual person, but rather a symbolic entity into which I invest all of my beliefs.

it kinda shows that Warren is not all that and a bag of chips.

For all her occasional nice rhetoric, she isn't really all that much on the side of the bottom 60%.

we've got a lot of territory to cover until 2016. Political stuff can be turned upside down in a matter of months. I've seen lots of twists and turns along the way to electing a future president...god knows I'm old enough...

Much as I think there's only two reasons in talking people out of contributing to the Wendy Davis for TX Gov. campaign.

Of the two, one makes much more sense...

and it is ONLY 2013. Oy. Suffice it to say I have an election coming that matters A LOT MORE TO ME than this message control. Do carry on though.

Because both elections are underway now. I had my my first 2014 call (from a sitting US Senator) in 2012. It's also when I had my first meeting(s)/visit(s) with 2016 Presidential candidates.

Both elections are underway. You can become engaged on whatever side you choose to join, or sit on your hands and what fore other people to decide the outcome.

I vote, who I vote for, is for me to know.

I do not play this partisan shit. In fact, we are considered among the most neutral reporters in this damn town.

So you carry on. I will not play this shitty game, nor will we play message control, as you are doing right now, or attempting to.

In fact, I am not even talking of 2014 either, but two weeks from now. So you have a grand good ol' day being a bundler.

Correction, I need to look at my calendar more often, eight days from now.
