HER AGAIN? – AT 11:30 A.M. ET:  The Elizabeth Warren crowd is stirring again.  Strapping on their Birkenstocks.  Downing their tofu.  Clipping on their peace buttons.  Oh, isn't it a time!  From The Hill:

Liberal activists and strategists argue Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) would be beating Hillary Clinton in the polls by now if she had opted to run for president as a champion of Wall Street reform.

At a time when nervous Democrats are eyeing 72-year-old Vice President Biden and former Vice President Al Gore — who left office 15 years ago — as potential alternatives, some liberals say it’s not too late for Warren to jump in.

“I think she’d be beating Hillary. That’s my opinion,” said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, who earlier this year worked on a campaign to draft Warren to run for president.

“Based on the support Bernie’s got and the way he’s surged in the polls, that shows anything is possible,” he added in reference to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has exceeded expectations by drawing big crowds on the campaign trail.

Clinton leads Sanders by about 20 points in national polls, but he has shown flashes of strength.

A Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald survey from mid-August showed him topping her 44 percent to 37 percent in New Hampshire, the second state in the primary process.

While Clinton has broader support within the Democratic Party, Sanders has generated more enthusiasm on the stump.

Nearly 2,000 supporters flocked to his event in Dubuque, Iowa, this week and more than 27,000 filled the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena earlier this month to hear him speak.

COMMENT:  It was inevitable that the left-wing group in the Dem party would get moving.  But there are differences Between Sanders and Warren.  I don't agree with Bernie, but he's honest and decent.  Warren is a proved liar, starting with her claim that she's a Native American.  Bernie is no hypocrite.  Warren is the phoniest thing going.  She made millions in corporate law, and drove a BMW before running for the Senate as a champion of the little people.  Bernie is at least fun to listen to.  Warren is a bore, and a terrible candidate.

But Warren is the sentimental favorite of the crowd that thinks North Vietnam is just a swell place to live.

Getting interesting on the Dem side.  One more bombshell exploding near Hillary and it can get very interesting.
