Her father’s heart attack and the family’s struggle to pay its bills. Her battle scars from Washington, her empathy for middle-class families in Massachusetts, and lastly, her entreaties for ideas on fixing ‘a badly broken political system.’… Although Elizabeth Warren’s posting does not explicitly say she will run, it dispels any uncertainty about her interest.”
“Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren sounds a lot like a woman moving toward a Senate run,” Roll Call writes. “In a post on the website Blue Mass Group titled "Coming Home," the longtime consumer advocate, who helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, indicated she would not go quietly back to teaching at Harvard Law School after leaving her position as assistant to the president earlier this month.”

Hooray for Elizabeth Warren----an advocate for what is left of the middle class. I hope she does get in the race.
Interesting race if she gets in. A very accomplished woman.
I wonder though how she'll be as a candidate. Has she ever run for office before? The only comment I have is that name-recognition candidates who aim for high office the first time do not always make good candidates (Hillary being the exception). Senate is a big first to attempt.
I like Scott Brown and I like Elizabeth Warren. Pity she couldn't challenge John Kerry.
Anybody want to factcheck the struggle paying medical bills post heart attack story? It would be awfully embarrassing to discover that she was not telling the absolute truth- ala Obama with regard to his mother's medical insurance.
like struggling with medical bills and worrying about your coverage is so rare in America. Seriously, no jo, why are Republicans so out of touch?
Warren, the anti-Brown!
Please run Elizabeth and send Scott Brown a packing.
Scott Brown is going to have to kick it up a notch. Maybe something with a pick-up and very little clothes?
Run, Elizabeth run!!
We've got your back. Together, let's give the do-nothing pretty boy-model Scottie the boot!
Wow, a serious person entering politics? A person with a cause beyond increasing their bank account? Can America stand such a radical "change?"
Please Run! We will support you! Anything to get the Tea-Baggers out of Washington, DC!!
I guess this is another campaign for me to contribute to, cause I'm sure Citizens United is gonna be giving Scottie big bucks.
Even though I can't vote for Elizabeth Warren I will support her all the way to the senate.
Guess she didn't want the job Obama Bin Lyin gave her. my dog could beat this fool and he died last year.
It's not that she didn't want the job bfitz, it's that you nuts filibustered her appointment. Another hate filled tea bagger.
She is straight shooting. I hope she runs. But I believe she will be in for quite a lot of attack. That's what happens to people who actually tell the truth.
Give him HELL Elizabeth.
