Hillary Clinton definitely wants Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) liberal stamp of approval.

But how does Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who actually might run for the White House, figure in her thinking?

Sanders and Warren have both recently said that they aren't sure how Clinton fits in with the populist wing.

Asked if she is going to "carry the water" of all the issues on income inequality that animate the left, Sanders offered this on a recent episode of Tavis Smiley's PBS show:

"I don't know what she is going to be campaigning on. I do know that we need candidates who will make it very clear that we cannot have government policy dominated by the top 1 percent for the 1 percent, that's wrong," he said. "If Hillary Clinton decides to run, [and] I decide to run we are going to have very good debates about the role of Wall Street in our society, about trade policy, about foreign policy and these are the kind of debates that need to take place."

He also said that people "can make a decision on how good or not good Hillary Clinton is."

So the gloves aren't exactly off, but they are starting to come off. Should Clinton make steps towards a run in the coming weeks, then the rhetoric from Warren and Sanders might get a bit more direct.

Sanders wouldn't be a match for Clinton on the campaign trail, but there is always room for someone to run a grassroots, free-media driven campaign-- the Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum campaigns come to mind.
