From Ron Suskind's "Confidence Men", via Brad DeLong's Grasping Reality:

[Elizabeth] Warren was caught off guard by Romer's intensity, and her thoughtfulness.... Question after question, the two engaged in an intellectual thrust-and-parry, until finally... Romer broke her stride. "Why is it always the women?" Romer said. "Why are we the only ones with balls around here?"

Hmm, maybe I shoulda voted for Hillary in the 2008 Democratic primaries... Except back then, I feared she had a lot of the centrist, believe-what-all-the-Serious People are saying, don't-fight-the-consensus tendencies that have turned out so badly for Obama, as witness e.g. her position before the Iraq war.

Maybe Elizabeth Warren should be running for something bigger than Senate...

Do read Brad's critical review of the book... very enlightening about the book and about administration policy.  (Also available at Brad's blog.)
