Frankly, this is getting a little embarrassing. Whenever I hear people still pining for Warren to run I cringe. She's not running folks. It's getting into tin foil hat territory.
Liberal groups have been pining for a Warren run for months and on Tuesday, a coalition of groups announced they would kick off their efforts in New Hampshire with a rally and plans to open local offices. This comes despite the fact Warren bluntly said "no" when asked if she was running in 2016.
A source at MoveOn, however, was more blunt in their assessment of why Warren over Sanders.
"You can see when the needle breaks the gauge," the source said. "It happens with Warren. It happens with Warren in a way that it doesn't happen with anyone else right now."

Repeat after me. "She's not running."
“She’s never slammed the door shut,” said Ben Wikler of MoveOn.org, who is hopeful she will run and recently launched a campaign to draft Warren.
“As senator Warren has said many times, she is not running for president,” Warren spokesperson Lacey Rose told msnbc.

Here is another video of the media / MoveOn's question whether Elizabeth Warren will run:
Really people. She's not running. Do I love Elizabeth. Of course I do. She's not running. She'll be wonderful in the Senate.
But here we have an amazing candidate that we can get behind and support in Bernie Sanders. A true progressive champion.
Let's put our full force behind him. Let's prove the conventional wisdom wrong.
"I’m not going to get money from the Koch brothers, and I’m not going to get money from billionaires. I’m going to have to raise my campaign contributions through BernieSanders.com, and small, individual contributions. That’s how I’m going to do it.
But, I seriously wonder, and it’s not just Bernie Sanders, I wonder now, in this day and age, whether it is possible for any candidate who is not a billionaire, or who is not beholden to the billionaire class, to be able to run successful campaigns, and if that is the case, I want you all to recognize what a sad state of affairs that is for American democracy." - Bernie, April 30th, 2015
That's why I gave $100 to Bernie yesterday. I want to prove that the people still have a voice. Let's give Bernie our voice.
If Hillary wins, great. I'll support her 100%. But let's fight for some real change while we have a chance.
