Former Obama administration adviser Elizabeth Warren has announced that she will run for the nomination to challenge Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and reclaim Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat for the Democrats. Ever since the president passed her over as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau she helped create, liberals have avidly hoped Warren would run.
“I’m going to do this,” said Warren in a video announcement on her campaign website. “The reason is straightforward: Middle-class families have been chipped at, hacked at, and squeezed and hammered for a generation now, and I don’t think Washington gets it.”
The Democratic primary field is crowded, but so far there is no challenger who can touch Brown in either fundraising or the polls. Progressives believe Warren can strike a cord.

Good for Ms. Warren; it'll be nice to have a conservative alternative to Scott Brown (only half joking).

And the Democrats thought Martha Coakley was a weak candidate?
This lady is going to bore people to death when they are trying to listen to her. In her video from the link above, it's kind of funny, the "Evil" Corporation she sites as an example of what's destroying the Country, and the middle class is, GE, as in "that" General Electric. Does she know, or not know, that GE is so far up President Obama's ass, that you can't tell where they end, and he begins? I guess not!! The White House can't be very happy with her for using GE as her Evil Corporation example, but I'm sure Scott Brown will be very happy to bring this up with her in their first debate together, and force her to expose, and explain the President's cozy relationship with GE. And after watching her video, that's should be pretty easy for her to do too. She'll just keep talking that monotonous talk of hers, until the entire audience falls asleep. Problem solved!! Call this her superpower if you will, even if it is a very boring superpower!!
Now Senator Brown certainly isn't any Conservatives "Ideal" candidate, but in comparison to this lady, I guess he's about as good as we're ever going to get in Liberal Massachusetts. As for me though, I'm not sending him a single dollar this time around. So if he wants to keep the Kennedy's Senate seat, he'll just have to do it without this Tea Party supporter's money. Sorry Scott!!
