Would Elizabeth Warren Run For Vice President?

Boston, MA - U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren left the door open for a vice presidential run this week, telling multiple news outlets she loves her day job without offering an outright refusal regarding a run at second-in-command.

In the world of horse-race punditry, a lack of a "no" is as good as a "maybe," and the reply suggests Warren could yet consider adding her progressive credentials to the Democratic ticket.

"Look, I love my job. I totally love my job. I love my job because I get to fight for the things I believe in," she told New England Cable News' Alison King when asked about a VP bid. "Way, way, way premature to talk about that."

As for an endorsement, Warren continues to keep that decision at arms' length.

"I don't have a timeline on it," she told King.

Democrats have eagerly awaited a decision from Warren, an outspoken critic of Wall Street and staunch progressive. She could potentially bolster Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's lefty credentials with an endorsement, or deal a blow by picking U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Independent taking her on.

That said, Warren's endorsement loses its luster by the day. Any influence on her home turf of Massachusetts came and went with Super Tuesday, and Clinton looks headed toward a lock on Democratic delegates nationwide with or without Warren's support.

Meanwhile, Warren had withering words for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, as well as Trump's newly vocal critic, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Speaking to NECN, she decried Trump's extremism, but brushed off Romney's efforts as too little, too late.

"Where was Mitt Romney since he last ran for president?" she asked.
