A chance meeting with Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren

[Lions_fan]

Yesterday morning, I was in line outside a Somerville, MA breakfast joint, and who should come around introducing herself to the queued patrons but Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Elizabeth Warren?

When she worked her way to where I was standing, I asked about her hawkish policies toward Iran, which are described thusly on her website.

Warren said she thinks the data says they are working on nuclear weapons.

I repeated that, no, even the administration says there's no evidence of that.

She said she'd look into it, saying it's important that political statements not to add fuel to the fire. I considered pointing out that the "fire" is our own creation, but I wanted to get to one more policy matter before she moved along.

1. I still support Liz Warren, but I'm saddened by the fact that women candidates often

have to come across as just as hawkish if not moreso than men. I mean, Hillary never did apologize for her support for the Iraq invasion; indeed, she doubled down. It saddens me that Liz has to go down this road just to have a fighting chance in so-called "liberal" Massachusetts. That this state still has issues with women candidates and it's very depressing to me.

2. That's disappointing to be sure

though I would wager that the economy, which Warren is excellent on, will be of more concern to voters than Iran.

4. Iran's nuclear program has one purpose.

And it's not nuclear energy for its people.
