Speculation mounts that Warren may run for Senate...

[rasputin1952]

President Barack Obama's decision not to pick Elizabeth Warren to head a new consumer protection agency is pumping up speculation that Warren might challenge Republican Sen. Scott Brown, a top Democratic target in 2012. And some Massachusetts Democrats say the president's decision came not a moment too soon.

Warren is expected to weigh her candidacy in the coming weeks as she prepares to return to Harvard. After standing by outside the White House as Obama named Richard Cordray to head the bureau, Warren said she wasn't ready to think about her next career move.

There are seven Democrats already running, including Setti Warren, the first-term mayor of the affluent Boston suburb of Newton and the state's first popularly elected black mayor; City Year youth program co-founder Alan Khazei; and Robert Massie, a former lieutenant governor candidate.

I think EW would make an excellent candidate and beat Brown hands down. Her exceptional intelligence and integrity would make mincemeat of the Teabagger/GOP backed clown.

5. Well, i imagine he will

as much as he can...He will be doing a little campaigning for himself around that time, but I'm sure he will do as much "coattail" campaigning as she asks him to do.

if she so chooses.
