I buy that there is anger I guess or this feeling that we need something different (in the lets call it the Far-Left in the Democratic Party) so-called Progressive-Democrats ( to be nice, during the holiday season ) like Senator Elisabeth Warren who is not as Far-Left as much as her followers may want her to be.

Senator Warren is a mainstream Progressive Democrat similar to Ted Kennedy or Sherrod Brown or Tom Harkin. She’s from the FDR/LBJ wing of the Democratic Party. Not the Michael Moore or MSNBC wing, which is very different.
Elizabeth Warren is not a McGovernite government needs to be big enough to manage people’s lives for them, because people are too stupid to do that for themselves. She’s not Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader but a center-left Progressive to the Left of me and I’m a Liberal, who wants government to do basic things: like regulating big business especially Wall Street, but not ending business and turning them into government agencies. And when Occupy Wall Street and others on the Far-Left figure this out, by sobering up, she’ll get less of their support.
Senator Warren is not an extremist and if that is what Social Democrats in the Democratic Party want a FDR or Ted Kennedy so-called Progressive, someone who is also pretty mainstream, then great someone like an Elisabeth Warren would go far and give someone like a Hillary Clinton who at best is a Progressive, but not a far-lefty and that may only be when she feel she needs to be.

Hillary is like a political calculator: she calculates where she believes she needs to be at the time to be politically successful. Which is her main weakness and I believe something she’s going to have to get past, if she really wants to be President of the Untied States.
If Elizabeth Warren were to run as that Progressive that I’m talking about and Hillary runs as the human political calculator, my support would go to the current Senator. Because at least I would know where she is on the issues and be with her on enough things to say voting for her was a good thing.

But if Liz were to run as a McGovernite “big central government always knows best for the people and people are too stupid to manage their own affairs” she’ll make Dennis Kucinich look like Ronald Reagan when it comes to presidential politics as far as political support. And bomb as badly as Rihanna at a Southern Baptist Convention.
