Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren could be vying against each other for the Democratic presidential nomination (or so some would like to believe), but the two politicians had only kind words for one another on Friday at a rally in Massachusetts for embattled gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.

Warren kept her remarks about Clinton short. "I am happy to welcome Secretary Clinton back to the Commonwealth," using the majority of her time on stage praising Coakley and highlighting her fight against big banks.

Clinton, meanwhile, was effusive in her praise for the senator.

"I am so pleased to be here with your senior senator, passionate champion for working class people and middle class families, Elizabeth Warren," Clinton said. "I love watching Elizabeth, you know, give it to those who deserve to get it. Standing up not only for you, but people with the same needs and the same wants across the country. Great pleasure to be here in a state with such a great tradition of leadership"

Clinton told the crowd that backstage, she and Warren shared stories about being grandmothers.

Warren, who has in the past said she's not running for president, recently sounded more open to the possibility. Meanwhile, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee continues to push for support of the "Elizabeth Warren wing" of the Democratic party.

It remains to be seen whether two of the most famous women in American politics today can help Coakley gain more traction with voters by Election Day -- the latest poll shows her trailing her Republican opponent by nine points.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- When Hillary Clinton joins candidates across the country, there is a standard formula for those introducing her: Rev up the crowd, tout candidates on the ballot, speak positively about Hillary Clinton.

It appears Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn't get the message.

When Warren and Clinton both stumped for Martha Coakley, Massachusetts' Democratic candidate, in Boston on Friday, Warren barely mentioned the former secretary of state.

"Happy to welcome Secretary Clinton back to the commonwealth," Warren said, firing up the crowd. "We love it!"

Warren has seen an uptick in speculation that she will run for president lately. While the senator has said she isn't running for president, she has left the door open and has continually dodged question about Clinton. The reason: If Warren were to run, she would likely face Clinton, the former secretary of state is widely seen as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton, by comparison, was effusive in her praise of Warren, the pride of many liberals because of her commitment to take on Wall Street and big banks.

Hillary Clinton and Senator Elizabeth Warren are in town to campaign on behalf of Martha Coakley, and that boost couldnt come at a better time for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate.

Clintons speech concentrated on womens economic issues, including paid sick time (a Coakley talking point) and equal pay for equal work.

A 20th century economy is not going to work for 21st century women and families, Clinton said. Isnt it amazing that were still debating that women deserve equal pay for equal work?

As the attorney general looked on from behind the podium, Clinton lauded Coakleys work in government over the years.

I have followed this race with great attention, Clinton said. It should not even be close.

The event came a day after Republican candidate Charlie Baker took a nine-point lead 45 percent to 36 percent in the latest poll from The Boston Globe. Thats a major shift from just last week, when the two candidates were virtually tied.

Hillary Clinton stood with Gov. Cuomo on Thursday to support his bid for a second term but many people at the Manhattan rally seemed more interested in her expected White House bid than this years election.

As Clinton moved to the podium, shouts of 2016! 2016! erupted in the Grand Hyatt ballroom, a more raucous reception than the one Cuomo would receive minutes later.

And when she finished with her introduction of the governor, about two dozen attendees quietly filed out the door, not even bothering to stay to hear Cuomos remarks.

Clinton has been touring the U.S. for weeks helping Democrats, and she usually overshadows the candidates she endorses.

This was her first such public event in the city, which is essentially her adopted home town after having served eight years as a senator from New York.

When he took the stage, Cuomo teased at the idea of Clinton running for President in 2016. I hope she does something really, really, really big, he said.

But Cuomo wont be advising her. Its a personal decision, he told reporters afterward. I went through this with another person, named Mario Cuomo, where there was a discussion for many years.

He added, You have to really want to do it . . . . You cant advise. Its like advising someone on whether or not they should marry a person.

In her remarks, Clinton heaped praise on Cuomos Womens Equality Agenda, a cornerstone of his effort to appeal to female voters.

Theres no doubt in my mind that the governor is the right leader, at the right time, with the right plan, Clinton told the crowd of about 500 Democrats.
