6. I love Joe but I don't think he has a Presidential personality.

Warren would be an outstanding candidate in 2016.


There is a real problem with any long term legislator running as a candidate, too many necessary compromise votes to account for. That is why since 1932 President Obama is only the second (Kennedy barely beating Nixon the other) sitting Senator to run and win the Presidency. Warren would face that inherent obstacle but given a relatively short period should be able to maneuver around it. I suspect that the first party to put a truly qualified woman at the top of the ticket is likely to win. We have a huge advantage in that we have many talented women with experience who could run.
