RE “A woman of few words” (Metro, Nov. 9): Gee, isn’t Brian McGrory a bit premature taking the gloves off on the woman who got elected just days ago? He might want to contrast that with the mini-coronation the local media delivered two years ago to one of the most profoundly average politicians this state has seen in years.
If it helps, you should think of this like a Bill Belichick press conference. He never says much, but when you look up, we’re in the playoffs again.

It has been said that politicians campaign in poetry, but govern in prose. Unfortunately, Senator Warren’s poetry consisted of a few well-worn cliches all about working to protect “middle-class working families.” The demands of campaigning limited her to just a few brief sound-bites such as this; the good news is that it worked and helped her to get elected. Now she has to leave the safety of a few memorized quotes, however sincere, and make a shift to much broader dialog. I believe that she has the intellectual capacity to express herself quite effectively, once she masters the prosaic demands of serving in the Senate.
