However, her background is working class, she moved from Republican to Democrat, she is capable and intelligent and has the ability to grow politically. Remember, FDR came from a patrician background but developed a much broader political outlook during his presidency.<br />It is indeed a tossup but I think the plusses outweigh the minuses should she run. The only progressive with a clear political history, Russ Feingold, would be my choice but his ability to enter the presidential sweepstakes would never be permitted. If nothing else Ms.Warren would open up intelligent dialogue and hopefully her strengths will overcome the weaknesses and I hope we get a chance to vote for her. I think the recent crises that can no longer be swept under the rug will make contenders become more sleazy or more brave. It will be an interesting time until the next major election in the U.S. also depending on public reaction to events that we will have to endure.<br />Here in Canada, they are revving up for the election next year which is hopeful for change for the better. May be be a signal for the U.S. if it works out. Interesting that Obama relied on Canada for direction in handling the Cuba decisions for better or worse.<br />Pearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-5361997715244069352014-12-18T19:12:11.578-05:002014-12-18T19:12:11.578-05:00"To even aspire to be president of the United...<i> "To even aspire to be president of the United States, one absolutely must be a sociopath, a person willing to leave his or her soul at the door in order to become the brutal State in human form." </i>--Karen Garcia<br /><br />Which is why, in one succinct sentence, it is explained how nothing will change for the better in this country any time soon.<br /><br />Whether one is a Progressive, Moderate or Conservative, the proffered candidates will be largely devoid of human decency and working on behalf of the interests of the rich and powerful who are hoping to put them in office, not the people who voted for them. <br /><br />And that holds not only for the presidential candidates, but <i> each and every </i> politician who is seeking office.<br /><br />Sadly, I believe <i> collapse </i> will will have to come before meaningful political change is possible.Zeenoreply@blogger.com
