Liberals consider Hillary Clinton as an "acceptable" choice for presidency but wishes to see Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren try to vie for the coveted position in 2016.

Media interviews of leftists during their annual conference "Netroots Nation" indicated the common opinion about the former Secretary of State as an "acceptable" option for the presidential race on 2016.

However, obvious inclination for Elizabeth Warren has echoed throughout the convention despite her consistent denial whenever asked if she intends to run for presidency in the upcoming 2016 elections.

According to political analyst Dick Morris, Clinton's "coronation" would be impeded once more if she is to run against Warren whom he dubbed as the anti-Wall Street crusader.

"I challenge anybody to tell me one thing that Hillary can say against Elizabeth Warren [in turn] where she is better, other than the concept that, 'I can win and you can't," he told NewsMax.

Boston Herald columnist Margery Eagan said in an op-ed on Thursday that she's betting that Warren can be persuaded to run and that she "could beat Hillary Clinton."

Reports suggest that Warren has been charming the swooning crowds of middle-class citizens by her speeches about 'leveling the playing field' and standing up to Wall Street during campaigns on student loan reforms on Wednesday.

"People seem very connected to that. ... People reach out and hug me and tell me their stories and take pictures. They understand this is what's happening in America," she said during a media briefing after the campaign.

On the other hand, Republican strategist Karl Rove still doubts reports that President Barack Obama will hand his support to the Warren over Clinton, despite the alleged Clinton-Obama family dispute.

The "Blood Feud" author Ed Klein stated in his article in the New York Post on July 6 that the president is not confident that Clinton is far left enough which might disengage many of his policies and has "quietly promised Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren complete support if she runs for president."

However, Rove deemed the story to be planted to make Clinton move farther left before the 2016 elections and pointed out in an interview with Fox News that the two pro-Clinton political action committees Ready for Hillary and Priorities Action USA are managed by supporters of the president.

"I don't think key people from Obama's most recent campaign would be flowing in to things that are strongly for Hillary unless they'd gotten a green light from the White House it was permissible," he stated.
