Boston Globe: Elizabeth Warren Being Considered as DNC Keynote SpeakerWarren being considered as DNC keynote speaker
By Glen Johnson GLOBE STAFF JULY 19, 2012 The crowds at political conventions feast on partisan red meat, and they could end up with a bellyful when the Republicans and Democrats meet back-to-back beginning late next month. An Obama campaign official confirmed to the Globe on Wednesday that US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is being considered as a possible keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention. The New York Post also reported that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention.

42. She also was the first one to make the same exact argument

that President Obama tried to make- but what Fox and the right-wing media completely distorted, spun, lied about.
 I would like to see her make that argument passionately in such a heavily publicized venue |
