Elizabeth Warren's Farewell Note: 'I Leave This Agency, But Not This Fight'

(snip)
In the coming days, Warren will leave Washington, take a vacation with her family to the Legoland theme park in California, and return to Cambridge, Mass., where she'll decide whether to challenge Republican Senator Scott Brown in the 2012 election.

Warren sent a farewell note to the nearly 500 staffers she hired and inherited from other federal agencies.

"I leave this agency, but not this fight," Warren wrote. "The issues we deal with -- a middle class that has been squeezed and business models built on tricks and traps -- are deeply personal to me, and they always will be."

1. That would be some measure of poetic justice if she were to take Brown's Senate Seat.

Thanks for the thread, cal.

2. I surely hope she runs for Senate... What a shame if she returns to

the relative obscurity of academia. She deserves so much better than the way in which she was treated.

3. Dare I suggest it? ...

Nah, I know some people are thinking what I'm thinking.

Competition is good. It breeds winners.

6. If she runs, I'll donate.

It won't be much, but I'll donate whatever I can muster to get her elected. She "gets" it!
