There's this:
Elizabeth Warren’s former national finance chair, Paul Egerman, has told several inquiring donors this month that, despite runaway speculation and a burning desire from the party’s left wing, the freshman senator will not run for president in 2016.
But that's OK, because there was also this:
[Sen. Bernie] Sanders says he is willing to consider making a run if no one else with progressive views similar to his ends up taking the plunge.
On the other hand:
Sanders said if he does run, he would "probably" do so as an independent.
Now that's just not right. Somebody really should make Hillary's coast to the nomination a nudgingly uncomfortable one, although I doubt Bernie would have been that somebody.
Still, on any ticket it would be nice for us, the socialistically starved, to witness a Debs redux, no matter how doomed.
