With liberals pining for a Clinton challenger, ambitious Democrats get in position (Jerry Brown)

DETROIT — On the night before her Friday keynote address to a gathering of progressive activists here, Sen. Elizabeth Warren tried to slip into a hotel restaurant for a quiet dinner. But the former law professor has become a liberal superstar, and when a few admirers spotted her walking to the corner of the dining room, they cheered loudly. A moment later, more joined in the applause. Then one urged her, “Run for president!”

The next morning at Netroots Nation, where Warren (D-Mass.) gave a fiery sermon for economic populism — “The game is rigged, and it isn’t right!” — scores of swooning supporters wore faux-straw boater hats with “Warren for President” stickers and chanted, “Run, Liz, run!”

Even as Hillary Rodham Clinton looms as the overwhelming favorite for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, the party’s base is stirring for a primary fight. There’s a pining for someone else, and a medley of ambitious Democrats are making moves — many of them previously unreported — to position themselves to perhaps be that someone.

Hilary is definitely toast. Every liberal woman I know is shocked that she is in favor of GMO crops and is aligned with Monsanto. “Traitor,” they call her.

The issue is larger than most people realize.

What if HRC and Bloomberg run on a third-party ticket — who would win?

These people are literally insane.

They have Hillary Clinton who is a habitual liar and the worst Secretary of State if not the worst government employee in history. Then there’s Elizabeth Warren a women with no accomplishments and a career as an affirmative action fake American Indian. And Governor Moonbeam, a 76 year old eccentric child, and a California weirdo.

Clinton wins New York, Brown wins California and Cruz wins Texas and Florida. Could be interesting with a free-for-all for the other 46 (or the other 53 if you’re the Resident).

He is 76 years old right now. He would be just shy of 79 in January 17. I thought the Democrats hated old white guys. Harry Reid, another old white guy, said so.

An even more perfected yes-man pawn for the Stalinist Rat-union-industrial complex than the current Loser in office.

How fitting that they met in the compost arena of liberal/progressive implementation: Detroit.

Laugh at Warren all you want FReepers. The thing is, she is connecting with blue-collar and middle-class families who are being screwed by crony-capitalism and big government. Other than Palin, she is the only politician making this link.

If she runs for President, she's going to run as a classic lunchbox Democrat. Yes, I know she's an elitist snob and a hypocritical limousine liberal, but she'll have the media glossing over this and Republicans will be portrayed as the party of the rich.

This is another reason why Palin must run, so she can neutralize her.

Hillary got ambushed from the left in 2008 when an unknown guy from Kenya by way of Chicago snuck in an stole the kishka.

This time she knows it’s coming but will likely fail again.
I think the Chicago mob has mutually assured destruction with the Clinton Crime Family over Arkancides.

The Clintons can’t use their vaunted private detective op to trash the opposition.

Gosh, do you know where Anthony is? Maybe he could do it to Obama too. And Holder. And Reid. And Pelosi. And Kerry. And Warren. And Boehner...

Bill just might be the next target if Hillary needs a boost.

She'd love to run as the First Widow to seek the office
