Wall Street banker Antonio Weiss has asked President Barack Obama not to renominate him to a top Treasury Department post because of the fight being waged against him by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other Democrats.

My head tells me Warren isn’t running. My gut tells me Warren isn’t running. But these stories keep coming up indicating Warren is awfully serious about something — something higher than a Senator’s pay grade.
Maybe she just wants to be the next Ted Kennedy — but Ted Kennedy always wanted to be the next Jack Kennedy.
