Elizabeth Warren's charm
I fully understand why Hillary Clinton is still playing hard to get. Though we all know she will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, she has to roll out that fact on her own timetable in order to minimize her exposure as a target for her opponents.

Still, she is a hot ticket, especially on the fund-raising circuit. As per Huffington Post:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is quickly becoming a top Democratic fundraiser and campaign powerhouse, hitting the road on behalf of candidates in key races the party will need to win to retain control of the U.S. Senate in November.
Since March, the Massachusetts Democrat has stumped for candidates in Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Kentucky and has trips planned this week for West Virginia and Michigan. It's a hefty schedule for a freshman senator who not long ago was teaching law at Harvard.
Campaigning in Kentucky with Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes, Warren had this to say about Senate Republican efforts to scuttle a bill that would let college grads refinance their students loans at lower rates:
When you've got a choice between billionaires and students, Mitch McConnell says it is more important to protect the billionaires.

Yes, Hillary is the best way to ensure the GOP doesn't get its grubby little hands on the White House. For that reason alone I'm on board. Sad that American politics has come to this.
As for Elizabeth Warren, it's probably too late for her ever to run for the presidency, though she can do some fine work in the Senate. And if, in the longer run, she encourages a few on the left to understand that you don't fundamentally change a corrupt system by begging the wealthiest in the land for table scraps, we could do worse.
Are you listening, Hill?

This is a not-insubstantial bit of political wisdom. Hillary rubs me the wrong way continually, but she can keep the GOP's grubby criminal hands off the presidency, and that's important. It probably saves lives, frankly. So supporting her is what liberal adult me ultimately has to do. Stinks, yes, but reality stinks.
