Just a quick note and a hussah! Elizabeth Warren, she who could not be nominated, has formed an exploratory committee for a campaign to gain the Senate seat in Massachusetts. Paperwork was filed today.
Boston Globe - Political Intelligence:
Prospective US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren today filed paperwork to create an exploratory campaign committee, the next step in a possible challenge to US Senator Scott Brown.
Also new is the first web site for Elizabeth Warren's campaign - www.elizabethforma.com at which she can solicit donations and support.
The news is being welcomed by long-standing supporters of women in politics:
“I’m thrilled that Elizabeth is pursuing this next endeavor with the thoughtfulness and respect that’s been such a hallmark of her career,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List. The group raises money from a network of women eager to support female candidates who support abortion rights.
“Elizabeth is strong, smart, and a dedicated fighter for working Americans. We’d love to see her take her talents to the US Senate,” Schriock added.
So say we all.
