Warren ponders race for senate
Academic electrifies liberal DemocratsElizabeth Warren may have been passed over by the Obama administration for the top job at the new financial sector consumer watchdog, but the Harvard academic is now electrifying liberal Democrats over a possible new position : senator for Massachusetts.
It’s hard to know what Obama will do here – she is already a tenured professor, so he cannot entice her with a Pat Williams-like cushy teaching job. Some other administration job is out of the question. She’s too smart to accept a pointless position with no power. So perhaps he’ll do what he did when appointed Senator Michael Bennet was in trouble here in Colorado, challenged by a popular progressive: intervene in the campaign. Would he go to Massachusetts and campaign openly for Scott Brown?
Hard to know. He’s clever. Something will derail her candidacy.
