An exploratory committee is not necessarily politico-speak.
It means that you have shown real interest in the possibility
of being president. Now, it's time to find out how much of a
reality it may become. If enough of the money isn't flowing
your way (unfortunately) in order to make it worthwhile to run
or if, for instance, you find that the media bashing is not something
you could potentially put up with in the long run, then you don't
officially announce your run for President later.

"In the election politics of the United States, an exploratory committee is an organization established to help determine whether a potential candidate should run for an elected office. They are most often cited in reference to United States Presidential hopefuls prior to the primaries."

Cheers, thanks for the info.

Don’t know the source of that, but those are amazingly good odds.
It’s still nearly 22 months away tho, so I can’t trust the numbers.

I’d put $100 on warren for a potential $102,400 pay out. I’d even vote and go another $100 to her campaign.

Ja it's a stupid controversy to begin with because it's not even like she tried to promote it that much, but feeding into it by publishing her results was just as dumb.

Why do you love these plastic mfs?

So you just like her brand of plastic.
