I missed the story a week ago and think it is well worth posting again. This is often the case for DUers who have busy/complicated lives - many times a story/report is posted but happens to sink before making it to the greatest page.

You claim you're "in MA and would dearly love liz to run", but you ridicule someone for posting a VERY significant development. Can we say cognitive dissonance, boys and girls? Look up the term "groundswell".

Following your logic-for-posting, there would always and only be one OP allowed for any development. Such as no more posts on HRC's private emails, no matter what surfaces. Come to think of it, that's the standard approach of the Clintons. Deny until you're forced to admit something, and then minimize it by claiming it's "old news."

Excuse me, but has any other newspaper called for Warren to run? Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #1

I don't know. I live in Boston. merrily Apr 2015 #2

I think this is a first, but could be wrong. The entire editorial board, very interesting Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #3

My pleasure. I thought this group would enjoy it. merrily Apr 2015 #4

um ellennelle Apr 2015 #5

Thanks..I did not check the date of the OP. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #6

Don't worry about the date of the article. Warren has said many times she is not running. merrily Apr 2015 #11

No worries, I hear what you're saying. I should have checked the date though..as the Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #27

Thanks for snarky condescension. However, this is not LBN and she's been saying she will not run merrily Apr 2015 #7

You're more than welcome RiverLover. merrily Apr 2015 #10

Cognitive dissonance. Her first post in the Warren forum is to lash out at me for posting merrily Apr 2015 #13

"but she has put the kibosh on it." So before their endorsement she said she would run? RiverLover Apr 2015 #12

Agreed. Should HRC's candidacy never materialize, or stumble/self-destruct Divernan Apr 2015 #17

You might enjoy this ... Scuba Apr 2015 #16

She is in my opinion the Democrat most likely to win. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #28

The Boston Herald is no competitor. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2015 #14

The Globe's wiki calls the Herald the Globe's chief competitor. I agree. merrily Apr 2015 #15

The NYT no longer owns The Boston Globe Fla Dem Apr 2015 #18

Thanks. merrily Apr 2015 #20

No prob. Fla Dem Apr 2015 #26

The fact remains that nothing Warren says will make HRC more acceptable or palatable. To me. djean111 Apr 2015 #19

Do you have any thoughts about why they think it so important to kill any hope of a Warren candidacy merrily Apr 2015 #21

Part of it is, and all of this is IMO, sheer hubris. Which may have been the HRC is inevitable djean111 Apr 2015 #22

Good post - thanks. Re your SCOTUS Divernan Apr 2015 #23

Exactly. I believe Hillary would appoint a corporate Jamie Dimon-approved judge, djean111 Apr 2015 #25

I think you may well be right about O'Malley merrily Apr 2015 #24

Totally on board with your post. I will not give up on Warren. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #29
