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.

Dizzy Lizzie’s hate for big business I get. I’ve heard her
rants about how the regular folks are getting screwed. But
what’s this about Warren vs. big government? I’d like to
hear about a minute of that schtick just to get my mind
around where she stands.

LIBs are insane. Unfortunately, there are a considerable number of voters who also are insane.
