Elizabeth Warren may be a Democrat, and may fight for the little guy. The problem is that she is one of the most partisan candidates we’ve seen in a long while. Already partisan on her own, Warren’s popularity and success depend largely on the Democratic Party inviting her to speak at its 2012 convention, among other things.
Senator Scott Brown, however, has proved that he is willing to break with his party. Indeed, in 2010, after receiving aid from the likes of Sarah Palin, Brown refused to appear with her at a Tea Party rally in Boston. Brown often has broken with the Republicans on votes in the Senate. Perhaps he wouldn’t always have voted the way our mostly Democratic state would like, but at least he could have continued to be a model of bipartisanship that Democrats and Republicans, especially, in both houses could have followed.

Any politician with a brain in the northeastern states, and especially in Massachusetts, would not have appeared with Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. His breaking-away votes in the Senate were strictly show business and not about critical issues.
