Elizabeth Warren Wins Senate Banking Committee Seat: Sources

Nearly two years after Wall Street waged a successful campaign to keep consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren from running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the incoming senator will be tapped to serve on the Banking Committee, according to four sources familiar with the situation. It’s a victory for progressives who battled to win her a seat on the panel that oversees the implementation of Dodd-Frank and other banking regulations.

This news makes me very happy indeed. Elizabeth Warren for President in 2016!

I can only hope that this is merely sarcasm. There is no more qualified person to run the committee than Senator Warren. She has had a distinguished career in both the public and private sector.

I believe the / is a sarc tag... just an assumption.

The Democratic Party seems to becoming less and less sheepish by the day.

Its amazing to think that in all of my 28 years this is the only time I can remember the party fighting this hard for what it is supposed to stand for. I think you would probably have to go back to some time in the early sixties to find a comparable moment in the parties history.

I mean a decade ago someone like Elizabeth Warren would have been tucked away on some irrelevant committee and given absolutely no power whatsoever. The "centrists" in the DLC wing would have made sure of it.
