(51,122 posts)All of the female Democratic senators signed a secret letter to Hillary Rodham Clinton early this year encouraging her to run for president in 2016 a letter that includes the signature of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other senators who are mentioned as potential candidates, two high-ranking Democratic Senate aides told ABC News.
The letter, organized at the urging of Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., was meant to be a private show of support from a group of 16 high-profile former colleagues and fans who are now senators, urging Clinton to do what much of the Democratic Party assumes she will, the aides said.
The existence of the letter was not revealed publicly until this week, when Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., mentioned it at an event in New York City on Monday. That was an apparent slip-up that prompted a round of apologetic e-mails from her Senate office to other offices on Capitol Hill, according to the aides.
All of the Senate Democratic women have written her a letter encouraging her to run, Hagan told a gathering organized by EMILYs List, according to Capital New York. The event was part of the groups Madam President series, which is organizing events around the country to promote interest in a female Democratic presidential candidate.

I would love to see Elizabeth as President, but there is zero chance that she will run if Hillary runs. Unless Hillary chooses her for VP.

Looks like the Clinton Ministry of Truth is back in operation.
