Elizabeth Warren, if she runs and wins the Democratic nomination. Other than that, I can only see Hillary Clinton winning this oddly-specific group by a huge margin.

Speaking as a white, educated, liberal urban dweller, I expect to vote for Hillary Clinton.  If she doesn't run, I have no clue.  O'Malley seems kind of insubstantial and lacking in the gravitas I want in a President.  Schweitzer is interesting as a candidate, but I've heard too many negative things from Montanans about him.

Lol.  Holding the banks and the wealthy to account isn't "silly."  And just because she's right doesn't mean that educated, liberal urban dwellers won't vote for her.  If anything, quite the contrary.

If the Democrats want to survive and expand, they need to embrace populism.

They are the most ideologically liberal group out of any, so Elizabeth Warren types. But she's not running, so someone more liberal. I don't know at this point.

Suggesting that student loans carry the same interest rate as the discount rate banks pay is pretty silly.

In a Clinton vs. Schweitzer race, Clinton. I don't see urbanites voting for someone who's Pro-gun.

If Clinton runs, probably her.  But there could be some Bernie Sanders love among this set as well.

So the "educated" yuppie types are gonna let the gun issue ruin it for Schweitzer - even though I think he'd do better than Clinton in a general election.

Hillary, and I believe it will be primarily because they want to elect a female president and "make history."

I don't know why but O'Malley seemed the type that the blue collar, machine Dem types would be all about.
