50. I know, but right now she's not running for anything.

Nov 2013

She's still a private citizen. It's the media who keeps pushing these 2016 stories. They abhor a vacuum and started speculating about another Hillary run the minute the 2012 elections were over. Now the Left leaning media types are pushing Elizabeth Warren. Frankly, she's not really a politician, I take her at her word when she keeps saying that she's not interested in running for president. She barely got into her first elected job in January. Not everyone feels the need to be president. It's mostly a tremendous amount of work and it can be a thankless job. I think that Warren could be the new Ted Kennedy of the Senate and make a tremendous difference from that perch.
