Six months after launching a high-profile attempt to push Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren into the 2016 presidential race, the campaign to draft Warren is calling it quits, according to officials with the two groups that founded the effort.
With Warren no more likely to enter the race today than she was in December — when Democracy for America (DFA) and MoveOn.org started their “Run Warren Run” campaign — the two major liberal groups have decided to suspend their efforts.
On Monday, the groups will “rest their case” by delivering to Warren more than 365,000 petitions they collected encouraging her to run. Afterwards, they will suspend the Run Warren Run campaign, which included on-the-ground organizers and field offices in Iowa and New Hampshire.
MoveOn.org and Democracy for America had previously worked closely with Warren’s office on policy goals in the Senate, but the groups were forced to sever ties once they launched their draft campaign. They now plan to return to working with Warren and other lawmakers, especially on fighting Obama’s trade policy. In one example, both groups have been involved in a large petition-delivering event on trade that will take place at the Capitol later this week.

It would be hilarious to find that Clinton bought them out and shut them down only to end up benefiting Bernie Sanders.
“.........Clinton bought them out and shut them down..”
Or threatened them. Hitlary is the demodummies choice and THAT”S ALL THERE IS.
Probably. One of the reasons to ban open primaries
Warren didn’t want any attention on her until she jumps into the race at the 11th hour to avoid scrutiny
It’s going to be HilLIARy/Warren
and its going to be tough to beat without a woman at the top of our ticket
I suggest Palin/Cruz
I missed the news. Did the other 500 candidates throw in the towel?
True, plus they will be able to save money while our guys will be spending it. They can spend theirs demonizing our top guys.
Palin/Cruz would be a good ticket. But the media has trashed Palin to the point that many that would not vote at all would come out just to vote against her. She simply does not stand a snow balls chance in hell.
I would say Cruz and some other woman as VP. Fiorina is not well liked here on FR, but she will draw the female vote and maybe appease the GOPe which would be two pluses for Cruz.
I think Carla would be great. She started out as a secretary and ended up running HP. HP was a mismanaged company for awhile before Carla became the head. Cruz/Fiorina would B a good ticket.
Trivia Answer: He wasn’t an Indian either.
Irony: The Mark of Quality Literature.
Baloney - once Sarah hit the campaign trail people would be ‘broken glass’ voters
The media trash EVERY GOP candidate.
Palin would blow them away
LOL! ^5
Hilarious.
