The stories are already being written. There’s an assumption that Hillary is going to ask Senator Elizabeth Warren to be her running mate. It’s a high tribute to Senator Warren. It’ also one I hope she turns down. Not because I think it wouldn’t be an awesome ticket, because it would. But I’d rather Senator Warren stay independent and out of the future Clinton Administration. We need her voice in the Senate both as an advocate and a nagging irritant to said future Clinton Administration.
In my humble opinion, the country would be better served with Senator Elizabeth Warren staying Senator Elizabeth Warren. I’m just a little nobody in a vast sea of voices on the big orange blog that is Daily Kos.
However, I’m not alone. The columnist Charles Pierce agrees in his post from yesterday titled;
Elizabeth Warren Should Not Be Vice President His closing paragraph makes his point and I agree;
However, this is another example of why SPW should not be vice president. She does her best work when, as the Scripture says, she is praying somewhat outside the camp. For the moment, anyway, the Secretary of Shade is in.
HT to vicki for posting Mr. Pierce’s column.
