Warren’s claim, which surfaced yesterday after a Herald inquiry, put the candidate in an awkward position as campaign aides last night scrambled but failed to produce documents proving her family lineage. Aides said the tales of Warren’s Cherokee and Delaware tribe ancestors have been passed down through family lore.
Harvard trips on roots of Elizabeth Warren’s family tree - BostonHerald.com (http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/view/20220427harvard_trips_on_roots_of_warrens_family_t ree_officials_touted_her_native_american_lineage/ - broken link)
I read an article where she and her husband made close to a million bucks a year. I guess by claiming Cherokee lineage she can appear to be more "down" with regular folks.
She's a Harvard academic who consulted on the Consumer Financial Protection agency. She oversaw TARP implementation. She did a huge study on the causes of personal bankruptcy and published it. She wrote a book called something like The Two-Income Myth (it's been a while since I read it). She's now running for Senate in MA against Scott Brown.

Oh, ok. She's the one Obama wanted to head the new consumer protection agency and the Repub's blocked her nomination, right?
Eh, kinda.
She was never actually nominated because Obama knew she was too controversial.
Obama nominated Richard Cordray, who most Republicans admitted had the qualifications for the job, and then put him in via recess appointment while the Republicans were holding "pro forma" sessions.
Warren actually has a very good chance of winning that seat, especially in a presidential election year when turnout is higher.
