I voted Other, as in I sure hope we wouldn't, but hey,

we have voters in this country who can't figure out how to use a ballot correctly.

Half of the voters in the USA are dumber than the other half, and it looks like they're the guys who vote all of the time.

Check out what's going on in Washington, D.C. :roll:

If we assume that she is the Democrat's nominee, then she'll get all the liberals/progressives/Democrats to vote for her and all the conservatives/libertarians/Republicans to vote against her. That leaves all the fence-sitting moderates and self-proclaimed independents. Now this bunch already got burned when they got sucked in by Obama. Does anyone really think they'll let themselves get sucked in again...by another left-wing Democrat?

The only burning that anyone (besides right wing hacks) have felt from Obama is when he goes to the middle, not when he sticks by the left. No one got suckered in. No matter how much the right clings to this narrative, it won't become true. Try examining the real president, not the empty chair.

if she can get past hillary
it would be a cake walk to victory
the national election cannot be gerrymandered to lean republican, fiddy
and if there is a groundswell of momentum to place EW on the ticket, how could she resist. nice strategy on her part. she is only about two years younger than hillary, so she cannot wait if she actually has presidential ambitions. that bio clock is ticking

the only republican who would make it a contest is condi rice
jeb, christie, mitt would not have a chance against her
while each would defeat hillary
because it's the independents in the middle who determine national election outcomes

Was this a serious question or a spoof? Only 5% of Democrats like her for the nomination. Joe the Plumber has a better chance of being President than she does.

She should hold off for an election cycle or two if she wants a chance. Any liberal candidate should

A number of Americans could get elected president, but I don't believe that Elizabeth Warren will be on the ballot therefore she probably won't get elected. :roll:

she's 65 now (hillary is 67)
don't think time is on the side of either to await another election cycle

I still cannot believe that this "man" turtledude is a man of the law .

I agree with her public positions too closely for her to be a viable national candidate.

Sorry, but public opinion just doesn't agree with you. Perhaps you should examine the real President...not your bias-tinged imagination.

This is from shortly before the mid-term election:

Fifty-four percent — let me repeat, 54 percent — said that Obama "cannot lead and get the job done," while just 42 percent said he could lead. I asked the pollsters behind the NBC-WSJ survey for the party ID breakouts on that question, and here's what they sent me: 84 percent of Republicans said that Obama can't lead or get the job done, as did six in ten (61 percent) of independents. (Just one in five Democrats agreed.)

That is an absolutely remarkable vote of no-confidence in Obama's ability to do the job he was elected to do. Yes, I know that Republicans are going to be against virtually everything Obama is for and that independents these days tend to be swollen with the ranks of disaffected GOPers. And yes, I am aware of the fact that Obama doesn't need to win any more elections. (Thanks to Democrats on Twitter for that reminder!)

But, what Obama does have to do is be president for the next two and a half years. And he'd like to spend that time building some sort of second-term legacy for himself. The leadership numbers — if they sustain — badly complicate those efforts.

The single most depressing number for President Obama in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll - The Washington Post

According to that poll, people have similar views on Democrats in Congress, with the Independents siding with the Republicans and this was born out by the shellacking the Democrats got in the actual election.

And, in regard to your contention that Obama hasn't been liberal enough...that is shown to be pie-in-the-sky thinking on your part by this article about a poll taken just before the mid-term:

Independents give the edge to Republicans over Democrats on all of the issues tested.

Now, you may, personally, think Warren has a chance...but the mood of the public disputes you.

Assuming she ran, and won the nomination it would depend entirely on who she ran against in the general election. Could she win? Yes, but she would need help.

To be able to win, considering the potential Republican candidates at this current time, would be able to breath.

Fox news.. they are the folks that was having Romney winning by a land slide, aren't they?

Being two years away, and not having a clue who else is running, it's possible that I could win the election.

I voted other due to lack of sufficient data to render an opinion.

Yes. It is only communism if you do not like what she says. When you do like it, it is common sense.

Phfft. That goes for any ideology. Anyone believes their likes are common sense, and they could substitute any polar opposite ideology in place of communism.

That's also the requirement for being a Elizabeth Warren supporter.

Well that and being naive enough to believe the BS rhetoric she's responsible for

Fauxcahontas Warren has just as much of chance as anyone does. Obama pulled it off twice.

Given that she starts with 240-260 electoral votes in the bank, it doesn't take much help.... especially if the Cons put up a "tough on immigration" candidate, then its cake walk.

While its not impossible for a Republican to win the White House, its not likely for quite a while and doubly hard if that Republican is a conservative. On the flip side, the Dems will not snif control of the house for almost decade. Other than the US Senate, the power blocks in Washington are pretty much set and stacked against the voter.

Do you mean President Obama isn't really black? He's nothing more than a Al Jolson?
