Elizabeth Warren winning support for 2016 White House bid

[Recursion]

29. Oh, definitely, and this is too early on to be sure of anything

But, the 5% support suggests to me other people in the party are thinking that way too.

Look at this from an "optics" standpoint: she's a liberal, female, New England Ivy League college professor who has admitted to embellishing her nonwhite "credentials" for professional advancement (and expect things like "if white people aren't discriminated against, why did she do that?", etc.) If you had to pick a caricature of a Democratic candidate for Republicans to attack, it would be something like that. I think she brings the weaknesses of a HRC campaign (sexism, flyover country resentment) with none of the benefits (Female voters don't "see themselves" in her the way they do with HRC). That last bit I've never understood. Clinton has it and Palin has it; Bachmann and Warren don't (I'm not comparing any of those people in any other sense, only that when asked, female voters identify with Clinton or Palin but not with Bachmann or Warren).
