Elizabeth Warren to try for impact near and far

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Elizabeth Warren plans to deliver a speech Wednesday night that will portray her as a fighter who, along with President Obama, “stood strong” on behalf of the middle class to create a consumer protection agency, according to her chief campaign strategist.

The 12-minute, prime-time speech at the Democratic National Convention offers Warren a crucial opportunity to sell herself to Massachusetts voters, especially the undecided among them who may have tuned out the early phases of her campaign against Senator Scott Brown, a Republican. But Warren’s message may also help reenergize liberals within the Democratic Party, particularly those who feel Obama has not fought hard enough against Republican opposition.

she will be preaching to the choir. I suspect it will have minimu to no impact

Is there any known cure for Personality Deficit Disorder?  

She is an east coast elitist who gets $400K a year from Harvard for teaching one class. Her ads nauseate me. As long as she can keep hers, she will display an interest in the little guy. It is all for show so she can feel self-righteous. Has she ever done anything other than be a lawyer and be political? This 2012 and we are a better nation than EW's ideals.

OMIG - this is fantastic: Let the audience see what a nut case she is and regret the checks they have been sending to Massachusetts.

Elizabeth Warren believes in putting people back to work especially in the public sector (firemen, policemen and teachers) and in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Her opponent, Senator Brown ran on a jobs platform, but he voted against three job bills that would have created 22,000 jobs in Massachusetts. 

 

On every major tax issue, when you look at the middle class vs. the wealthiest, Scott Brown has made it very clear who he sides with.

 

IN contrast, Elizabeth Warren will fight for the middle class.

No mention of Lizzy's refusal to meet with the local Cherokees. Only the corrupt Globe would fail to mention this if only as a footnote. Can't wait for the poll that says Lizzy is even or ahead just before she takes a major league drubbing

Warren already sold herself for the women's vote (can you believe we still don't have equal pay for equal jobs).
