It takes a loooooong time to be ready to run as President. Many experienced politicians have tried and failed. No one without years of experience, including Obama, has ever done well.
Obama had been in state politics for six to eight years, then national politics for two. He was a pretty experienced and gifted politician.
I heard one of his college professors on the radio talking about him this morning, actually. He said when he looked at his notes from Obama's first year at Harvard, the professor had put an exclamation point by Obama's name on the roster. That was because how impressive the young man was to the professor, immediately. He said that Obama was professorial, almost to a fault, from day one. He was incredibly bright, articulate, always punctual, and sat in the front of the class. When he answered a question, he would reference "Sue's" answer to the question, and state what parts she was right about, then reference "Bob's" answer and why that was correct in part, etc. The professor thought that Obama was on track to becoming mayor; he never dreamed President. My point is...Obama was a natural from the start, and he had YEARS of political and campaign experience.
Warren does not. You saw how poorly Rick Perry did. Perry...with years of political and campaign experience. Who had never lost a campaign.
But she might be able to handle a Vice President campaign. But if Clinton runs, she won't pick a woman as VP.
