Third Way's Attacks On Elizabeth Warren Resurface In Close Senate Race - HuffPo
Third Way's Attacks On Elizabeth Warren Resurface In Close Senate RaceThe Huffington Post | by Samantha Lachman

The feud between Third Way and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has surfaced in a way the corporate-backed think tank probably didn't intend.
After Warren sent a fundraising email on behalf of Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), the campaign of Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), his opponent in the Senate race, noted that Third Way co-founder Matt Bennett had called Warren's economic message "catastrophically antibusiness" at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
The "catastrophically antibusiness" line was also used by the Chamber of Commerce and Sen. Scott Brown's (R-Mass.) campaign before Warren defeated him in 2012.
"Senator Mark Pryor is turning to help from his Washington ally Elizabeth Warren, a notoriously liberal Senator whose views are radically out-of-touch with Arkansas," Cotton's campaign also wrote on Friday, characterizing Warren as "radical" and a supporter of "European-Style, Single-Payer" health care. Cotton's campaign identified Third Way as a "leading Democratic think tank."
Cotton's attempt to tie Pryor to Warren echoes how Pryor is working to paint Cotton as extremely conservative.
Third Way didn't respond to a request for comment about Cotton's attacks on Pryor and Warren.

which, last I checked, was immediately adjacent to Arkansas, and somewhat similar demographically. 
Weird.
