The short answer: I’m not convinced.

If you’re a liberal, you may have felt a disturbance in the Force Wednesday, as if millions of voices cried out at once, and then jizzed into millions of pants. At least one Alaskan salmon was even affected. That disturbance came courtesy of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who was asked about her recent private meeting with Vice President and potential presidential candidate Joe Biden. The fireworks started with Warren’s conspicuous non-answer about the intriguing possibility of a Biden-Warren ticket, and finished with Warren’s refusal to pledge that she’d serve her full six-year senate term:

Was there any talk of a joint ticket, even jokingly?

(pregnant pause) “It was a long conversation.”

Warren does, of course, have a history of getting cute with this sort of question. You may recall that a few months ago, she caused a stir by implying that the issue of the Trans-Pacific Partnership might jar her into reconsidering a White House bid. In that case, though, there was a clear policy objective in mind. This didn’t feel like that. Bernie Sanders has already succeeded at injecting most of Warren’s policy priorities into this race. This felt like Warren trying not to say something that wasn’t true.

As it begins to look more and more likely that Vice President Biden will jump into the race, the prospect of a Biden/Warren unity ticket…READ MORE

    I honestly believe that Elizabeth Warren would make an excellent Vice President at this time
    Clinton/Warren 2016 Enough said.

      Bernie/Warren 2016 but we are on the same page, anybody over a Republican!

        There does seem to be a mutual agreement on VP anyway. I am not a Democrat although most of my voting leans that way. I am an Independent, so I cannot, in Good faith, vote in the Primaries. I have felt Hilary would make a good President early on in her First Lady years. I will just have to wait and see who comes up on the ticket.

    Why not? She is better than any Republican candidate!

      One real good reason is she would/could be more influential where she is. The V.P. slot would open her Senate seat up and she’d be done politically in four or eight years.

        Good point!

        President is a logical step for a former Good VP.

  4. jybarz September 5th, 2015 at 02:54

    Well, I really think the Dem can run any pony against any of these puny Repuke phonies and win hands down.

    Qualified for VP? How hard can it be? Dan Quayle did it.

    • rg9rts September 5th, 2015 at 05:30

      Cheney too

      • Larry Schmitt September 5th, 2015 at 07:35

        At least Cheney can speak in complete sentences. They’re evil, but they’re complete.

    A definite maybe

    I guess if we survived Dan Quayle and McCain thought the Tundra Twat had the right stuff, Liz is qualified to be President, Vice President, Sec of State, Prime Minister of GB, Queen of England, and Pope…all at the same time…
