Why don't the Heat Nazis get Elizabeth Warren to do a rain dance [Racist.] and end this drought?

Oh, pretty please! I would love to see the fake squaw atop the Party of Blasphemy, Buggery, and 'Bortion's ticket. She'd be vying to become America's second Affirmative Action president.

Elizabeth Warren for President? Democrats' Barren 2016 Bench

Regardless of whether the president wins re-election, the Obama era will be over before long. Democrats will have to find a new leader on whom to pin their hopes. But who?

I'm sure antichrist is available.

I went to a conference of liberal activists this week hoping to find out whom the party's activist base sees as its up-and-coming stars. But the exercise turned out to be revealing largely for how unprepared people were to answer the question. 

Nearly every answer I got began with a blank stare or incredulous laugh, followed by some fumbling around, followed by "Elizabeth Warren."

Confirming the impression I'd gleaned from my conversations with activists and organizers, Warren ran away with the 2016 straw poll conducted at the Take Back the American Dream conference in Washington, winning 32 percent of the vote to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's 27 percent. [Heil Schicklgruber! - F.G.] Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who spoke at the conference and whose brand of gravelly-voiced populism is a perpetual hit with this crowd, was third with 16 percent; the other names on the ballot, all polling in single digits, were New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia.

It tells you something about Warren's status as a rock star of the left that before the Senate candidate in Massachusetts has even won her first election she's being pumped as a future presidential candidate. But it tells you even more about the status of the Democratic farm team. There are precious few tabbed for political stardom in the Democratic ranks the way Obama was starting in 2004 or the way Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is adored on the Republican right today.

"Whew, man, that's a tough one," said Jeanette Baust, a 55-year-old educator and activist from Denver who was attending the progressive conference along with her partner, Evelyn Hanssen. "I guess I'd have to say Elizabeth Warren if she can get elected." What about Colorado's Democratic senators, Michael Bennet* and Mark Udall, and governor, John Hickenlooper? The women didn't think they had national potential...

Hickenlooper? What funny names these babykillers have. 

Hey what's that asterisk for? Is Michael Bennet somebody we should have heard of?

* Disclosure: Michael Bennet is the brother of the editor of The Atlantic, James Bennet.

Woop-de-do.
