Warren could unseat Brown

[manifold]

As more and more of his senate votes come in, I've become less and less a fan of Scott Brown. And to think, I once endorsed him for president.

As of yet I'm undecided, but I'm giving strong consideration to voting for Warren in 2012.

It's too bad that "conservatives", "teapartiers", "conservative independents", "dittoheads", beckheads", Christian conservatives".....or whatever Republicans call themselves....have no room for moderates anymore.

You have to be a hateful jaded old bigoted prick to fit in anymore.

Let's see: On one side we've got Elizabeth Warren, unconfirmed Empress of the Consumer Protection Agency, Obama toady, and enemy of capitalism.
On the other we've got Scott Brown, the deciding vote against Obamacare.
Yeah, sure, Brown is a Rino. But in MA that's what passes for a Republican. Romney and Giuliani aren't Republicans outside of their respective bases.

Brown is at least better than Olympia Snowe.

Brown's votes are bought and paid for by the American Petroleum Institute.

It doesn't get any more republican than that.

Brown ran as an Independent Republican. I see nothing in his record that shows that he is not an Independent Republican. I may not agree with him all the time, but I'd rather see more Scott's than more of the Party-Over-Country brigade.

I supported and voted for Brown because I believed he was independent.

Turns out I was wrong.

But whatcha gonna do?

He voted with the GOP on 80% of votes (according to wiki). Assuming that's close, I see no reason why that's a bad thing.

I like Scott. I liked him during his campaign and I haven't seen anything that has changed that opinion.

Brown has repeatedly voted in favor of massive tax breaks for oil companies, like his no vote on S 940 for example. If he was truly an independent and objective Senator who's primary concern was to serve his constituents, he'd want these unnecessary tax breaks eliminated.

I think Warren could unseat him w/ her accomplishments:

Elizabeth Warren (born Elizabeth Herring;[2] June 22, 1949)[3] is an American attorney and law professor. She served as Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She is also the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where she has taught contract law, bankruptcy, and commercial law. In the wake of the 2008-2011 financial crisis, she became the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the U.S. banking bailout (formally known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program). She long advocated for the creation of a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,[4][5] which was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010. As the special advisor she worked on implementation of the CFPB.

She's gotta get thru her primary first. Somewhere this morning I heard that might have 7 or 9 others also in the fight.

Of course.

Right now she's the front-runner for the dem nomination. But I agree, that primary race could get really really ugly.

How long has Elizabeth Warren lived in MA?

Will Obama campaign for her?

Not if she expects to win.
