1. does Scott Brown have much of a chance after the Scalia thing ?

i can't wait to see Elizabeth Warren in the Senate. she is more low key than Ted Kennedy but i really believe if people are able to see her serve and what she can do for them she will easily win re-election.

Most people are.

Not everyone can have the same oratorical fire.

I wish Obama was more like FDR sometimes, but we have to accept people have different styles.

Btw, the 3rd debate between Warren & Brown is a coming up in a few days. Hopefully Warren can build on the points she made in the previous 2 debates and raise the Freudian slips about his true nature that Brown let come out last week.

Warren is at 66.7% on Intrade.

9. Warren ahead of Brown by (+5) in this morning's poll, but . . .

They have succeeded in driving Warren's unfavorable rating up.

Brown is also still dominating with Independents.

Which brings me to this suggestion . . .

In Debate #3 this week, it is really time that Warren peel back the truth about Brown's lie that he is an 'Independent'. He says this over and over again and he needs to be challenged on it.

"So Mr. Brown, how come you have an (R) after your name and not an (I), and why are you part of the Republican Caucus?"

"Why did Romney admit during the debate this past week that you got elected so that you could obstruct the President's agenda?"

10. I think she needs a "Scalia" ad. The way he said that was priceless.

Then BAM BAM BAM a quick list of Fat Tony's votes -n- views. Put them together on screen.

She does need to marry Brown and rMoney more, as well--but she could do that via an ad too, in addition to just reminding the viewers of rMoney's words about Brown--force Brown to try to deny Mittsy.

I like the way she hammers at his shitty record. She could stand to mention that he is a Republican and votes with Republicans on this/that/the other shitty votes.

She's much nicer than he is even when she's pointing out his bullshit; he cannot help being snide and snarky when he's around her.

Warren already has one. It's a radio ad that launched a couple days ago.

I posted it on a previous thread.

4. There's a new MA poll coming out today

I'm hoping it will show Warren still ahead of Brown, or increasing her support.

The rumor is that it will show a 'decrease in favorability for one of the candidates'.

8. If Hillary could stump for that woman without compromising her Cabinet position, I am sure she would

as she and EW are cut from the same "No Bullshit" cloth! They are both of the same vintage, pretty much, (EW is 2 years younger than HRC) and had to deal with the same sorts of roadblocks coming up in the world.
