I'm pretty sure the others will too. We want government for the 99% for the entire country.

The anti-Hillary!

when he chose to run for President in 2008 rather than finish out a full term. I can't see Senator Warren's supporters getting pissed, either.

What an attractive pair they would make! The RW would have a collective fit and that would be a good thing!

However, I think a governor might be the wiser choice. I keep coming back to Schweiker. It certainly balances out geographically.
