She has a magical aura.

I have a new liberal to worship. Instead of Barack Obama. This time it's a woman. Elizabeth Warren. A 62-year-old Harvard law professor. She's running for the U.S. Senate. In Massachussets. The seat once held by Ted Kennedy. Of course, I've been disillusioned by some so-called liberals. Obama hasn't lived up to my expectations. But Elizabeth Warren --well, she's a passionate and articulate liberal. More passionate and more articulate than Obama. She could go places. In the political realm. Maybe even to the presidency in 2016. She's got what it takes. More honesty than Obama. Less of a compromiser when it comes to liberal causes. Obama has been a disappointment to many, many liberals. He's given in to Republicans and conservatives on too many issues. He's abandoned some liberal principles. He's given away too much. He's allowed Washington to affect him more than he's affected Washington. That ain't good. Warren has the capability of turning the tide. Of selling liberalism. In persuasive ways. Heck, she might even turn some conservatives into liberals. Elizabeth Warren could be superwoman. The savior of the nation. She has a magical aura. --Jim Broede
