Or will her presence further energize the right and have the opposite effect, as Obamas presidency has done (arguably)?

Hard to say, but I know I was taken aback by my friend's comments on Warren. He was involved in developing the "stress tests" banks have to periodically undergo and has been deeply involved in fixing banks, here and abroad since the crash and has nothing but contempt for a lot of Wall St. practices. Yet, he insisted that Warren is "dangerous." I may see him again on New Year's Eve and might have to dig a bit deeper.
