Elizabeth Warren insists she won't run for presidentElizabeth Warren, the state’s first woman senator to serve in Congress, will not run for president in 2016, she insisted repeatedly and emphatically during an interview this morning on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” program.
“I’m not running for president,” Warren, 64, of Cambridge, told reporter Mark Strassmann. Her autobiography, “A Fighting Chance,” hits bookstores Tuesday.Strassmann persisted, however, noting that President Obama wrote “The Audacity of Hope,” like Warren, two years into his first term as U.S. senator.

“I’m not running for president,” Warren cut him off. “You can ask it lots of different ways.Rather, Warren said she wrote “A Fighting Chance” out of “gratitude for my start and the opportunities that America built for me. I think that’s what we’ve got to do again. I’m committed to that.http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/us_politics/2014/04/elizabeth_warren_insists_she_wont_run_for_president
