It's also a big middle finger to the corrupt banking system. She better get things done and we better start seeing some perp walks because she was the only one who was advocating for the little guy on Wall Street.
Absolutely glorious! Superpacs like Freedom Works poured huge sums of money into Scott's campaign and they were rebuffed. Claire McCaskell is another one. Every one said she didn't stand a chance.
For me one of the biggest and most gratifying aspects of the election was the total repudiation of the hard right superpacs and how they were essentially turned away from every important regional contest, irrespective of how much money they poured into them.
This election proved that money alone will not buy you a seat at the big game. You also need an agenda that the people will support. Right wing republicans were soundly rejected at every turn. A great day for the American system and an example to the entire world in how we as a nation choose our leaders.

Scott Brown was an incumbent Senator who voted with the Democrats 54% of the time he was in the Senate. His defeat was a repudiation of working across the aisle to get things done on Capitol Hill.
Warren's "creation" the Consumer Protection Bureau is simply another unnecessary government bureaucracy enforcing laws that other government bureaucracies are too stupid, lazy, or incompetent to enforce themselves. It will protect irresponsible people to the detriment of responsible people. Fees that were levied against delinquent customers will now be spread out among all customers making banking for the responsible people more expensive.

Scott Brown was one of the pivotal seats Democrats had to get back in the senate to keep their majority. See how much compromise there would have been if the repubs had taken over the senate.
