WASHINGTON -- Consumer advocate and former White House official Elizabeth Warren will announce on Wednesday that she is running for the United States Senate seat currently held by Scott Brown (R-Mass.), a close source tells The Huffington Post.
The announcement will not come as a surprise, as Warren has spent the last few weeks traveling across Massachusetts and speaking at several high-profile political events as part of a statewide listening tour. Still, her formal entrance into the race is likely to be cheered by progressives and national Democrats alike, as Warren is both beloved by the base and represents one of the party's best chances to unseat Brown.
“The pressures on middle class families are worse than ever, but it is the big corporations that get their way in Washington,” said Warren, in a statement obtained by The Huffington Post. “I want to change that. I will work my heart out to earn the trust of the people of Massachusetts.”
The consumer advocate will be spending the day tomorrow greeting commuters in Boston, before travelling to New Bedford, Framingham, Worcester, and Springfield. She has already picked up an endorsement from a prominent nurses union in the state and has been informally courted by other unions.
I doubt it. The woman has all the personality of a brick, and Scott Brown is a very congenial, charasmatic guy.
Gee...groovy...those traits will really do a lot for middle class Americans. Maybe he can send everyone an autogrpahed head shot and they can sell it on Ebay.

I disagree, Elizabeth Warren has shown she has a spine, is intelligent, ethical and is wiiling to hold her ground.
Positive traits for any politician, she looks like a very capable threat to any opponent.
