It was inevitable, given the strong feelings of support Elizabeth Warren inspires in the left: A matter of hours after President Obama appointed someone else to lead the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, the left is already hauling in thousands of dollars in campaign cash and begging Warren to run for Senate in Massachusetts.

The process is about to take the next leap, as supporters of a Warren campaign against Sen. Scott Brown launch an online ad campaign. For her part, Warren has not yet said if she'll run, though she's left the door open.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is heading up the Draft Warren campaign and says around 24,000 people have signed it so far. More important for Warren and her potential campaign plans, PCCC tells TPM signers have pledged to give funds "in the large six figures" to a Warren campaign and offered up "tens of thousands of volunteer hours" should she need them.

The group is launching two web ads, one national and one for Massachusetts, to drive more support Warren's way.

1. She should look much higher than the Senate.

President Warren sounds wonderful to me.

4. If she runs, she has my financial support. Not much, but a worthy race. EOM

5. Has anyone bothered to ask Elizabeth Warren if she WANTS to

run for office? She may not, you know. She has quite the comfortable life, and she may not have the "fire in the belly" needed to run for political office. OTOH, she may, I don't know.

Just curious.
