Naive Huffpo columnist claims it's all upside, going with Warren over HRC.

The most naive two sentences in the whole column:
"However, there's an alternative to constantly defending Hillary Clinton from real or fabricated accusations and controversies. Her name is Senator Elizabeth Warren."

PUHLEEEEZE!

Are they really giving column space at Huffpo to someone so clueless? The moment Elizabeth Warren even starts appearing to be gaining on HRC, the repugs will be all over her with accusations and fabricated controversies!

They really wanted Teddy's seat. They had one, exactly one line of attack - that she ticked off a checkbox on a form decades ago. What exactly are they going to 'fabricate' that will top the attacks they've got against Clinton?

The fact that she is a 1% er, not all fabricated but rest assured the GOP will make stuff up.

Clinton is the focus of attacks because she is the perceived leader.

Carl Rove, among others, supports Warrant running, because he thinks a hard fought primary will make the winner weaker.

I am sure that, just in case, they already have plenty of opposition research and a plan to disenfranchise voters so Republicans can win.
