I just met Elizabeth Warren

If she can manage to do even half of what she talks about in her stump speech, she will be what the Commonwealth needs in Washington.

Yes. I'm that impressed.

I'm glad. I've heard good things about her online, but they weren't specific enough for me to argue in favor of her when you were not happy with her.

Her campaign staff didn't impress me, but Warren herself? Good God. She really has a grasp on what's gone so horribly wrong in America over the past thirty years.

Wait, did you meet her, or only see her giving a speech?

Met her and got to ask questions at a house party in Springfield. I'm not joining her campaign and God knows I don't have the money to donate (nor was I asked for any), but I was seriously impressed.

She is my hero. In my fantasy universe she becomes president for 20 years.

I'd just like to see her beat Brown, who is pleasant enough but not what Massachusetts (or the country) needs. I was really skeptical until I met Warren, but you know? She really is all that, as they say.

My mom's a fan as well. Btw, did you report that rude caller to her campaign staff? Nobody needs idiots like that on a campaign, not even if it's an unpaid volunteer.

Yep. Fortunately a friend of a friend put me in touch with a local Democratic precinct captain in Easthampton, who got me invited to a house party last night.

This is a smart, compassionate, and seriously impressive woman.
