I just saw Elizabeth Warren speak @ Ohio State University.
She is the real deal and then some. No wonder the GOP and the
bankers fear her.

But I share your love for Elizabeth Warren.
Then, of course, there's Nancy Pelosi, my congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Gabby Giffords, Sandra Fluke and so many others.
And then there's my beautiful Courtney...
It may seem that I'm a fickle kind of guy, but I'm completely sincere with all of them!

Yes! So happy for you! And happy for her that you were there and applauded! Indeed, I would name my first-born Elizabeth, except he's already rather attached to the name we gave him seventeen years ago! (Ha.)

(182 posts)These were well before she became a candidate... when she was a Harvard Law School professor.
From NPR Fresh Air (aptly named!), 2007 and 2008:

Highlight: she gave her Law School class a typical credit card contract-the type everyone signs-and asked the class to figure out what it meant in terms of the credit card holder's rights. In 45 minutes they couldn't figure it out! As she pointed out, if Harvard Law students couldn't figure it out, what chance do the rest of us stand??
I remember thinking: she'd make a great political candidate! But it'll never happen...
