Warren isn't 2016 obsessed, stresses focus on midterms

Like a coach before a big game, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts delivered two pep talks Friday urging Vermonters to become involved in the 2014 election because it could set the country's future course.

"This is a moment in history," Warren told the 300 people who sat in the hard seats at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House in Burlington clutching her new book — "A Fighting Chance." "This is our moment to decide the direction this country will take."

"We can whine. We can whimper or we can fight," she said. "Me, I'm going to fight."

Answer: there isn't one. Yes there are people thinking and planning to run in 2016, but they're not ignoring the 2014 midterms. The only people who might be described as obsessed are some of the political media.

I was referring to people on DU. Isn't Warren setting a good example?

,,,and FWIW, is Warren perhaps "obsessing about 2016" by announcing her support for Hillary Clinton.

Understand, I like Warren; I just think she's as human as everyone else.
