++Previous Kos had poo-poohed Elizabeth Warren as Vice President because she could get more accomplished as a Senator in a Democratically-controlled Senate. Bernie Sanders can as head of the Budget Committee.
++But Elizabeth Warren is a tough lady to put down now that she is in a twitter war with Trump. Charles Blow in today's New York Times downplayed the effectiveness of Warren's war with Trump because Trump has no shame.
++But Elizabeth Warren caught the eye of Hillary Clinton with her willingness to do battle with the billionaire. She said that she wanted a fighter for her vice president.
++Joe Biden who said he would have made a great President also came out and said he would have chosen Elizabeth Warren as his running mate. The two had met several times during the conversations of a Biden run.
++Two women. Seems too much. I was for Governor Richardson in 2008 to run with Barack Obama. But that would have been too much for the country to absorb.
++Most of the talk around Clinton's choice rotates around various Hispanic members of congress and a head of a department in the Obama administration.
++But for the economic issues Elizabeth Warren knows her stuff and has accomplished much already. Trump tries to downplay her by calling her "Pocahantas" and saying she hasn't done much in the Senate. This can be easily disproved if the Mighty Democratic Wurlizer would start start churning out the message.
++For the Clinton cord, Warren is actually hawkish, not as much as Hillary. But she would hold her own in a debate.
++The supporters of Bernie Sanders love Warren and she could be the hook to get the millennials enthused. But the optics of two women over 65 might be too much. But Kos' change of mind is worth considering.
