I will add to this, and embed videos when available, but here’s my quick take. (Full video here) Very strong opening for Brown on fake Cherokee issue. He didn’t handle it the way I would have, but he picked an issue — the release of...

New poll shows Scott Brown in lead

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 19, 2012 23 Comments

There have been several polls released recently, showing everything from a virtual dead heat to Elizabeth Warren ahead by low single digits. This was a contrast to pre-DNC polls, which showed Brown ahead by low single digits. Clearly Warren received a convention bounce, almost entirely from...

Scott Brown surges ahead of Martha Coakley

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 24, 2012 43 Comments

Is Elizabeth Warren tanking? PPP poll shows Brown surge

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 21, 2012 42 Comments

Brown: Elizabeth Warren “a self-proclaimed rock thrower who wants to leave blood and teeth on the floor”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 26 Comments

I think this is a winning theme, that Warren will be the Dennis Kucinich / Maurice Hinchey of the Senate, someone who can spout far-left rhetoric and play the anti-factory owner card, but will be marginalized as a Senator. If the people of Massachusetts want...

A new poll shows trouble for Elizabeth Warren, but not if you just read The Boston Globe’s headline: Scott Brown, Elizabeth Warren neck and neck in new poll. But read on and the article tells a different story than the headline portrays (emphasis mine): Despite...

Hello-Hello Scott Brown, a/k/a The Elizabeth Warren Accountability Project

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 24, 2012 47 Comments

Will Elizabeth Warren escape accountability for telling what at best were tall tales and at worst lies about her Cherokee heritage? Will Warren get away with using her mystical heritage strategically to advance her career in a crafty way which provided her with (im)plausible deniability?...
