As if we need another Harvard Law School product...
[BostonHerald] She's reportedly waiting until 2014 before she starts thinking about 2016, but Hillary Clinton, according to one national poll, is your frontrunner for the White House -- by a wide margin.

And Elizabeth Warren is your fastest rising star.

The former secretary of state and first lady dominated last week's new Quinnipiac University survey, which showed her gobbling up 61 percent of support and beating any Republican challenger -- be it New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Kentucky U.S. Sen. Rand Paul or Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz -- by anywhere from 13 to 23 points.

But no one in the past five months has made a bigger jump as a potential presidential contender than Warren, according to pollsters. At 7 percent, she ranked third among Democrats, behind Clinton, of course -- way behind -- and Vice President Joe Biden, who sat at 11 percent.
We are truly fucked...
Horse race handicapping, when most of the candidates haven't yet stepped up to the gate. One does hope the Democratic bench will be deeper than this lot.

#7  The Wookie will expect it to be 'given' to her as her rights as a 'woman of color'. She is an affirmative action baby. She hasn't 'earned' anything in her life.

#6  The Wookie is not a black Hillary. It's not like she's spent the last 5 years deeply involved, building a network, and buffing up her credentials. She's in it strictly for the money, fame, and perks. I'd wager she has an even stronger aversion to work and responsibilities than her spouse.

#5  Warren is going on name recognition not reputation recognition. That sort of thing won't survive the primaries.

Hillary is as well but there are a lot that would willingly ignore her reputaiton (or blame Barrack for Bengazhi when the time comes).
