There are two things I believe about Elizabeth Warren. She would be a strong candidate in the Democratic presidential nomination (Grassroots support. Represents the same milestone as Hillary Clinton. Geographic edge in New Hampshire primary. Fits Anti Wall Street mood better than anyone else.) but she's also unlikely to run (People in their 60s who run for President have tended to believe that they were presidential timber for some time.)

But she's in the news with a new book. In one excerpt, she criticizes Obama's advisors from the left.

And she got publicity for a speech in which she criticized likely Republican candidates Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz that she made in a speech.

And she got the support of the President of the AFL-CIO.

When she looks in the mirror, is a potential President looking back at her?

The only candidates she's competitive against are guys like Cruz, Perry, and Paul Ryan (aka the guys who have no business running in the first place).
The question's more about the primary than the general election.

I have ulterior motives for wanting her as a primary candidate.

The only candidates she's competitive against are guys like Cruz, Perry, and Paul Ryan (aka the guys who have no business running in the first place).
The most popular political figure in America wouldn't be competitive?
Who are you talking about? Certainly not Warren.

She'll won't be able to win against an establishment GOP candidate that doesn't have his foot in his mouth.

She's 1.5 points higher on that scale than Bobby Jindal.
