[QUOTE]WASHINGTON — Some Democrats are “Ready for Hillary.” MoveOn.org is ready for Elizabeth Warren.
The liberal group is poised to spend $1 million on a campaign to draft Senator Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, into the 2016 presidential race, an indication of an appetite among some activists for a more progressive alternative to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
MoveOn.org’s executive director, Ilya Sheyman, said the group planned to open offices and hire staff in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that kick off the presidential nominating process, and ultimately to air television ads in those states. The group will begin its push with a website, “Run Warren Run,” allowing supporters to sign a petition urging Ms. Warren to pursue a White House bid and featuring a video about her.
“We want to demonstrate to Senator Warren that there’s a groundswell of grass-roots energy nationally and in key states and to demonstrate there’s a path for her,” Mr. Sheyman said. He added that the effort was not being made in coordination with Ms. Warren and that the group advised her staff about it only last weekend.[/QUOTE]

Ugh, it's 2014, lay off the presidential crap until 2016.
And, seriously, the only thing congressmen are worried about right now is how they're going to fare in the 2016 elections instead of the actual real ramifications of the crap they're dealing with now.
Hopefully this means people will stop using them as an "unbiased source."
Is it $1 million in donations? Otherwise I don't really find it fitting to call it "grassroots".

You shouldn't wait until 2016 to start running.

How they deal with "the actual real ramifications of the crap" should be the meter of whether or not they get reelected.
I hope Herman Cain runs again. I don't want him to win, just to run.

Seriously, what is with everyone backing with these more far-fringed psychos?

Elizabeth Warren is actually really sane if I'm thinking this is who I think it is.

I think you have the wrong person.
I said it again and I'll say it again.
Bernie.
He actually wants to run and IMO he's better than Warren.
She's got my vote. At least I know what she stands for. She doesn't change her position everyday like Romney.

That's how the US system works, and it's a huge flaw IMO. Politicians and parties are constantly on a war-footing, and the minority party never feels the need to compromise because they're permanently focused on making the majority party look bad so they can win next time.
