Her Senior Senate seat? She is going after the banks and the GOP fears her....soooo? Why would you want her as an VP?

And please stop calling her Liz, it really is disrespectful. She is Senator Elizabeth Warren. My Senator from MA.

want to cannibalize our leadership in the Senate so they can run for President. I like Senator Warren right where she is, fighting the good fight in the Senate.

Thank you. You are one the first person to recognize this. Thank you!I have said it so many times.

I met her. Here people just want to use her to bash Obama. She will be awesome, yet I can't even appreciate my Senator here. She is just a stupid woman to some here, used as a tool. Guess who pushed her to run. This President. He sure as hell knew what he was doing.

I contributed to her campaign even though I live in California because I felt we needed her voice in the Senate.
And we do need her there desperately.

The United State's first woman Vice President is a BFD.

Warren can then dedicate all of her time to helping Bernie get things done. All of her time and effort to helping Bernie.

Behind every great man is an even greater woman. Warren will be right there for Bernie and together they can change the world!

Look what the VP did for bush. The VP can have power, so to say Warren would be useless is, well, silly.

She WANTS to be a senator. Why isn;t that enough? Why can't people respect this woman's choice?

Look at the power cheney had from 2001 to 2009.

Only this time Warren will be on our side. We need two champions for the people.

polls better than he does and has much broader appeal. No doubt she could out fundraise him.

If she wants to be President she has that opportunity and I would support her doing so.
