You might not know that, along with his Nobel Peace Prize, President Barack Obama has won two Best Spoken Word Album Grammys for the audio versions of “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” Other Grammy winners in the category include Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore.
So, what are the chances that Sen. Elizabeth Warren will win a Grammy? No, not for the hit single “Run Liz Run” …
As bad as the Hillary song is, it's Grammy-worthy compared to the first Liz Warren anthem http://t.co/3KQRNqjnzZ #RedEye

… but for the spoken word version of her book, “A Fighting Chance.”
Tickled to be nominated for a Grammy for my book A Fighting Chance! (And grateful the Recording Academy has never heard me try to sing.)

Warren’s up against some stiff competition, including former president Jimmy Carter, but the fact that she was elected senator proves just about anything is possible.
In Grammy competition, Elizabeth Warren is up against James Franco, Jimmy Carter, John Waters, Joan Rivers, and Gloria Gaynor.

James Franco, Jimmy Carter, John Waters, Joan Rivers, Elizabeth Warren & Gloria Gaynor compete for spoken word Grammy. That's a party!

Elizabeth Warren was nominated for a Grammy today.
I'm really glad I'm nowhere near Hillary.

If Elizabeth Warren wins a Grammy is she more likely to run for president? http://t.co/oVhyFZq6Cc

@baseballcrank @KendallBreitman I'm just assuming the Grammy nom. is for Carter & Warren singing Islands in the Stream like Kenny and Dolly.
