It will be very interesting to see how "Wall Street's Favorite Congressman" debates with the woman who created "The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau".

I cannot imagine working class America not taking a shine to Elizabeth Warren.

Brown still remains very popular here in Massachusetts. People seem to forget that not too long ago, while national politicians from MA were Democratic, MA had Republican governors (1991-2007).

Warren represents the very type of Democrat that the working class in MA do not like. She is a Harvard elitist and comes across in press interviews quite 'smarter and better than you'-ish. This isn't going to play well in the blue collar 'burbs of Boston and western MA. Plus, she has to go through a competitive primary here in MA. She is not a lock for the Democratic nomination, let alone winning the Senate seat.

Furthermore, the dynamics of the national Presidential race will impact the win for Brown or the Democrat. If the economy is poor and the Republican/right are energized to get to the polls, they will do so and vote for Brown. Personally, if I were to place bets today, I would say Brown wins.

This race will take on a life of it's own, she will be run on as the protector of the consumer against one of the largest lobbies in the US. I would not understimate the displeasure of the voters in the central with the lack of oversight and punishment of the financial industry for one of the largest disasters in US history, not to mention congress gutting of the proposed consumer protections.

She still has to win the nomination but I don't see her losing with her message.

This is one race I'll really enjoy following. She's exactly the type we need in politics. A democrat with balls. Metaphoricly speaking of course.

Political affiliation doesn't matter, she could be from another planet and still win the race, if Brown accepted $10 from the financial lobby he will be in trouble.

Elizabeth Warren gave a fantastic lecture on the coming collapse of the Middle Class at Berkley which is fantastc! Here's a link to it.
The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class - YouTube

She thinks that the bankster elites actually dreamed up the women's movement so as to increase the average American's family's capacity to handle more debt and make it so that two incomes would be REQUIRED to pay for just the basics where as previously just one income was required.
