(H/T Instapundit) This editorial had me …well, shrugging and conceding that there was a possibility… until this point:
And just in case Benghazi does end up costing [Hillary] Clinton the White House, there’s someone else ready and willing to take her place in the 2016 race.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Yeeeeeeah. Do you know what we do to liberal Democrats from Massachusetts who run for President in this country? Do you, do you? That’s right! We rip their hearts out and then throw the hearts on the ground and then we make them dance on their own hearts! We do that until they have no dignity left! And then we smack them in the face, laugh, and elect the other guy.
Seriously. JFK is about as liberal as a candidate from Massachusetts can get and still be elected, and he cut taxes, turned on a war, and got shot by a Commie. Everybody else since then mostly just wandered around for a while until it was time to lose gracefully. Or, in John Kerry’s case, rather bitterly.

PS: Elizabeth Warren, of course, is perfectly welcome to try. Yeah, that’s right. Ignore the Republican bomb-thrower. She won last cycle, right? It’ll be a piece of cake. I don’t know anything. I’ll be so crushed when she wins.
Go right ahead, then.
Many of us no longer believe this country, is still “this country”. You don’t think that way, and I actually admire that trait in you. “An idealist, praise be”*
Regardless, I totally agree Warren would be a preferred opponent in the next presidential election.
