Warren's was one of the two

Warren's was one of the two favorite quotes I've come across recently, both over the last couple of weeks.

The other was this one, from Barth:

We are told that liberals want a "mommy state" and that the government that does the least is the best government there can be. We are all on our own. Regulations should be curtailed. If you want to eat food, you just have to be careful and take your chances. If it is true that this view can elect a president and a Congress, then we are no longer the United States of America. We are just random individuals sharing space.

Barth's words read even better to me when I reread what came before and after it in his September 17 post, "Tikkun olam. Repair the World": http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/tikkun-olam-repair-world-11608

Lightning in a bottle, indeed.

It would not surprise me if she ends up in the White House someday.

Link to WashPost story on Warren which references the quote, along with an excerpt:

“I don’t think it hurts [Warren], not this year,” said Mary Anne Marsh, a Democratic consultant in the Bay State. “At this point people feel the game is so rigged against them. They’re mad at Washington, they’re mad at Wall Street. The argument she’s making is that everybody needs to be a part of this, it can’t just be the middle-class anymore, and I think that’s a powerful message.”

The more her opponents try to slime her the better as far as I'm concerned; it'll just get more publicity for her. She's lightning in a bottle. Her factory owner quote is pitch perfect--it's uniting, positive, and educative, not resentful, jealous, destructive, or damaging to economic health in its implications.
