A Democratic Woman

Olympia Snowe looks stateswomanly next to Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.

But there is a smart, articulate, determined, principled, progressive, ardent fighter for the middle class, who is probably going to run for the Senate from Massachusetts to take back Ted Kennedy's seat.

Elizabeth Warren, Harvard Law Professor and the one who was so effective in fighting the big banks and credit card companies in setting up the new consumers credit protection bureau that Republicans threw up a steel wall of resistance to her nomination to head the agency she had created.

OK. Let's turn that defeat into an even better place for her. There's no one on the horizon that I would work more passionately to help get elected than Elizabeth Warren-- even as a senator from another state. We need her as a strong voice in the U.S. Senate. I'll send my first contribution as soon as she announces.

It can happen.
