Democrats Hope Warren Will Challenge Brown
Democratic officials are wooing Elizabeth Warren to run for the Senate in Massachusetts against Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), "rather than continue working on a new consumer financial protection bureau," the New York Times reports.

"In seeking to enlist Ms. Warren for a different campaign, Democrats are taking aim at two birds. They can lay the groundwork for a potential compromise over a different candidate to lead the new agency and, they hope, they can increase their chances of reclaiming Mr. Brown's seat by sending against him a woman who has won considerable acclaim and popularity among liberals for taking on the financial industry."

However, multiple Democratic sources tell CNN that Warren would prefer a recess appointment to run the bureau over a Senate run.
