Elizabeth Warren stepped up her attacks against Scott Brown over women’s issues Tuesday as a new poll showed her trailing the Republican senator by 5 points.
The automated phone survey conducted Aug. 16 to Aug. 19 by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic leaning firm, indicated Brown ahead 49 percent to 44 percent, the first time he has led in the firm’s polling since June 2011. The poll’s margin of error is 2.9 percentage points. The survey also found that Brown led with men by more than 20 percentage points, while Warren led among women by 9 points.

Wow, if the Globe is reporting Brown at +4%, he could actually be +12% or more in real life. Yikes, there better be a pretty hefty increase in the number of anti-Brown headlines put forth by the unbiased Globe over the next couple of weeks, or this race could get out of hand.

Great news. The electorate is finally waking up to the fact that Professor Warren is a fruad. She complains in her adds about the cost of education but willingly collects $375,000 a year for teaching ONE course at Harvard. What a joke. She wouldn't have gotten that job either if she hadn't checked off the right box on her job application, American Indian (fake).
OK, an error rate of 2.9, gives Brown a 2 point lead. Elizabeth Warren will blow right through that and add a plus 2 points after the first debate. Then she will sail. Can't wait for the debates. So sick of those foolish "On the Road, again" ads.
People who vote will vote for Warren. Lots of folks who answer the phone will be to busy to actually vote. The other reason she wins is because people will vote for Obama and she's on the ticket.
Oh my goodness... well bless my gunboot... Lizzy thinks Scott Brown is a danger to ladies.... Well, consider this... Lizzy the bankruptcy professor wants to enfold herself in the manner of an advocatess for the middle class... Imagine, a lawyer whos specializes in bankruptcy wants you to think she is pushing issues for you - how to keep your IRA, maybe, or how to keep every valuable you own when the debtors demand that you surrender what they can legally demand? Lizzy the ex-Reagan era Republican who won't say who she voted for as a GOP member, any more than she'll say which branch of the Cherokee nation she might be related to. Or how she voted amongst all those Harvard law professors as they were deciding whether to offer tenure to a lady law professor being considered for a life-time deal... like Lizzy has. Imagine, Lizzy today is all agog about female matters, but she won't disclose how she dealt with a feminism issue involving a Harvard colleague.
Bottom of page B4 of the print edition. Making the front page, more important than this story to the Boston Globe was a story about someone that feeds birds. Massachusetts is a very liberal state, Elizabeth Warren is the liberal superstar, and she's down by 5 in a Democrat favored poll and the Globe doesn't think this is news. Not even pretending to be unbiased I guess.
Actually, it means the lead is somewhere between 2.1 and 7.9. But I will say that this doesn't cover the resent Akin and Republican platform mess ... it's reasonable to think some of that is going to stick to Brown, especially with media like the Boston Globe putting that and Romney's taxes front page top of the fold constantly, rather than Obama administration denial of Freedom of Information Acts, the economy and jobs, the Arab Spring backfiring, Obama & Holder claiming the right to assassinate U.S. citizens and hold you without charges, civilian casualties from cruise missile attacks, Afghanistan ....
She's a teacher alright. She's taught me that you don't need to be a minority to check that minority box. This will come in very handy for future job applications and my children's college applications.
