8. ...and a setback for the fantasy world "maybe she'll change her mind" contingent...

Thu Jul 24, 2014, 12:08 PM

Jul 2014

...because it's another day (or 2 or 10 or 30) spent dreaming of a Warren campaign rather than making a serious effort to find someone who actually wants to run.

A reminder that, in addition to saying she's not running, she's also saying she supports another candidate. Do you seriously think she'll change her mind AND run against the candidate she's endorsed?
