(22,271 posts)and I agree that whoever Barak Obama backs will, most likely "win" the nomination. Sadly, I think we all know where Obama will throw his support and it won't be behind Warren. He's a corporate Democrat and so is Hillary. He's backed by Wall Street and so is Hillary. This isn't a decision he'll make on his own, he'll be instructed who to back and we all know who the DNC is behind. My only hope is that there will be enough grassroots for Warren to overcome the Party Machine -- a tall order. We all see what happened when the populace bucked the corporate Democrat and went for the populist (Howard Dean). He was rolled over, not by the Republicans but by the Corporo-Democrats.
Otoh, Warren has some extremely powerful liberal organizations who would far prefer to put their support behind Warren who absolutely can win the General. Unless the Republicans nominate someone from the Clown Car, Hillary will lose in the General.
