I LOVE Warren (big surprise) but he's been a bit teasy, a bit wishy washy as far as committing to run goes. But he's now made it clear that he loves his life, he has 4 children young enough to be his grandchildren (he's 68) whom he wants to enjoy to the fullest, and he just wants to exercise his right to be a good, opinionated, citizen who makes full use of his democratic right to free speech! He most recently, and most successfully, did so when he helped the unions for the teachers, policemen, firemen and nurses win against Der Governator earlier this month.
He started doing campaign volunteer work for JFK and later more closely for/with Bobby K., George McGovern and Gary Hart.
Young Warren in a tete a tete with Bobby Kennedy and years later a shaggy, bespectacled Beatty with Teddy Kennedy.
