What did you all think of the debate.
I think they both had some strong moments but overall I feel that Scott Brown came across better than Elisabeth Warren. In the interest of disclosure I have a lot of respect for Scott Brown's record of being the most non-partisan senator having voted with the dems 47% of the time and the reps 53% of the time basing his vote off the bill and how it impacts the country and my state. I do not have a lot of respect for Elisabeth Warren's record with the asbestos/steel company nor the cloud surrounding her checking off the minority status box and self-identifying as a native american minority when @ Harvard. I am not a fan of affirmative action and I believe that by doing so she abused those laws.
Warren's strongest moment was probably her supreme court answer. She had a direct answer "Elana Keegan is who I want" while Brown fumbled and picked 4 justices not one.
Brown's strongest moment was every time he talked about his actual record as a senator.
Warren's weakest moments were when she was asked what Republican she could/would work with and her closing remarks which, unlike Brown's, were a re-hash of her negative talking points about Brown. Brown kept it on a "this is who I am, this is what I've done, please vote for me because of my record" level instead of a guttersnipe level. I have no problem with Warren attacking Brown on stuff but to have it the centerpiece of her closing remarks was just weak in my opnion
Brown's weakest 2 moments were the supereme court justice question and, although I liked it a lot it did come across poor in my opinion, when he got aggrivated with Warren's constant interruptions and blurped "i'm not one of your students" at her.
Here is the debate
