Cheers for Warren at Conference Offer Peek at Democrats' Mind-Set

DETROIT — Even before Senator Elizabeth Warren entered the grand ballroom of the Cobo Center here on Friday for a much-anticipated speech to hundreds of liberal activists, her admirers were handing out plastic boater hats, bumper stickers and lawn signs declaring, “Elizabeth Warren for President.”

The attorney was Hillary Clinton....
