Oh my, looks like the intellectual foundation of OWS is getting money from Wall Street after all.
BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Lone Republican» Blog Archive » Wall Street money for Warren (http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/news/lone_republican/index.php/2012/01/06/wall-street-money-for-warren/ - broken link)
Has she filed yet?
DSCC has taken over $40 million from WS over the last 7 years.
the question is...if she accepts DSCC money directly, will she then feel beholden to Wall Street, or to DSCC influence? Maybe yes, maybe no. But with her personal fundraising, she might not care about what DSCC raises.
Those moderate New England Republicans like Brown are a dying breed. The most famous of them is getting his clocked cleaned by a couple kooks in the primaries now. I wonder if they will ever regain their hold on the party.
That's a bad sign for her. We had a very similar house candidate, a Harvard-educated, committed lefty named Darcy Burner in my CD, which is a formerly R, now swing district east of Seattle. Darcy Burner was the darling of Seattle liberals and got a ton of out-of-district donations.
When election day came, she got trounced by the moderate R incumbent, an ex-sheriff who doesn't even have a college degree.
When I asked who the 'rising stars' in the Democratic party, she was about the only name Dems seemed to be able to produce. If she can't win pretty decisively, say at least 55%, in Massachusetts, how can she expect to run for president in 2016?
i hear this talking point a lot. the "rising stars"....who cares? we'll see who will run in 2016 sometime in 2014/15. It's 2012. Jeez...some people need other hobbies.
But, if you're looking for younger Democrats who may be influential in the future - how about Cory Booker?
Warren cannot even count on the people of Massachusetts to boost her fundraising total. She has to rely on the Democratic machine outside of the state!
maybe now that politics is a national concern, it is telling that Warren draws national support and Brown doesn't? Why is it a bad thing is you raise a lot of money nationally, for a state campaign?

Thanks, that is a good name to keep in mind. I recall seeing him on Meet the Press and was impressed.

Shame on the Republicans.
