Harry Reid wants Warren in Senate leadership
Quote
Senate Democrats want to enlist a progressive firebrand as a member of their leadership: Elizabeth Warren.

The incoming Senate minority leader, Harry Reid, is engaged in private talks with the Massachusetts freshman to create a special leadership post for the former Harvard professor, according to several people familiar with the matter. It’s unclear exactly what the new job would entail — but luring the populist liberal into leadership could inject fresh blood into a team reeling from significant midterm election losses.

Not even one term as senator and she's in leadership?
This isn't "New Blood," this is Presidential politics 2016.

And it's a SPECIAL leadership post, at that. Read that as: no real job, but will sound appropriately impressive to the "stupid voters", aka the democrat base.

Being 1/64th native American she can help pick up the votes of 1.56% of the American  Indians.

Knowing the fecklessness of Bitch McConnell and the Gang of RINOs, watch him make Fauxcahontas' "Leadership" position official, in the interest of "reaching across the aisle".  :banghead: :puke:

Hard to tell from the story, but I believe this whole thing is purely within the Democrat Party's structure in the Senate (Like Majority Leader or Whip), not an actual Senate office like a committee chairperson.

Yes. McConnell wouldn't have anything to do with her from what I understand. This would be the Dems issue alone. She would be a part of the Democratic Party's leadership. They are prepping her for a Presidential run, on the outside they are all salivating for Hillary but I can bet you anything they are secretly trying to find a new Presidential Hopeful. Hillary is too entrenched with Obama. You can't just forget that she was his Secretary of State. They are looking for a back up/ running mate for Hillary since they know she might not be able to carry the campaign on her own (if at all) at the end of Obama's presidency.

Outside of the fringe kooks on the left, nobody knows or cares who Elizabeth Warren is.

If she wins the Democrat nomination, she'll get beat worse than Mondale.

She will head up the committee for "Non-Native American Native Americans".

Dingy Harry, the alleged pedophile, threw Mary Landreau to the wolves, while he takes Princess Fauxahontas under his wing.

Sounds like there's a catfight coming in the Senate ladies' room.

Conservatively, I could comfortably clear $50 billion if I had the pay-per-view rights.  Throw in a little advertising revenue and maybe some strategic product placement (remind me to contact the manufacturer of Botox® in the morning, by the way) and I could conceivably pay off the national debt with it. :cheers1:
