Elizabeth Warren had a reputation in academia as a climber with sharp elbows, said New York Magazine in 2011 (“A Saint with Sharp Elbows), and The Boston Globe in 2012:
Behind the scenes, some of her peers bristled at her ascent, viewing her as smart and capable but also as a climber...
If you missed the debate between Scott Brown and Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire last night, consider yourself lucky.
Brown did very well despite the tremendous odds stacked against him. The debate was sponsored in part by the University of New Hampshire and moderated by the not-at-all biased Chuck Todd of...
We reported earlier that Scott Brown was in a dead heat with Jean Shaheen, a surge from prior polling.
Could this be a repeat of his 2010 victory over Martha Coakley?
From Diane:
Don’t know if Brown is the answer but this is the question.

The senate race between Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen and Republican challenger Scott Brown is going to be a pricey one. Some are even speculating that it could set records.
Chris Cassidy of the Boston Herald reports…

Much speculation today, apparently confirmed by Fox News:
Fox News has confirmed that former senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) has told the network that he will file an exploratory committee for the New Hampshire Senate race.
His contract with the network has been canceled, as is standard practice for candidates for office.
“Scott Brown’s contributor...
Scott Brown announced yesterday that he decided not to run for the Senate seat vacated by John Kerry. While I would have preferred he run, I can’t say I blame him.
After all, Massachusetts elected Elizabeth Warren, someone who demonstrably misrepresented her ethnicity for employment purposes both in pr...

Boston talk radio host Michael Graham writes, DON’T Run, Scott, Don’t Run!
Actually, I have no problem with Scott Brown running in the special election we all expect to have in a few months after John Kerry becomes Secretary of State (could he do any...
John Kerry to Be Nominated to Be Secretary of State, Sources Say:
Sources tell ABC News that President Obama has decided that he will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to be secretary of state.

Kimball Political Consulting, a Republican leaning firm but one which has not been overly generous in its results for Scott Brown to date (it had Warren up 2 in mid-October), finds Brown up by 2 in a poll just released:

A new poll is giving an edge to Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren in...
The Boston Globe decided to run profiles of Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren this week on the eve of the hotly contested election.
The Globe ran a glowing puff piece about Warren, a tribute to Warren’s progress in overcoming obstacles real and imagined (mostly imagined, as anyone paying attention knows). The write-up featured a...
No one expresses feigned outrage quite as well as Elizabeth Warren.
Warren, who assumed a false Native American identity for employment purposes while climbing the law professor ladder and explained it away by playing on ethnic stereotypes of Indians having high cheekbones, is upset.
Scott Brown said he suspected that some of the people...
First it was union members being fined for not picketing for Elizabeth Warren. Then it was Warren supporters taunting a gay staffer with Scott Brown’s campaign.
Now black supporters of Scott Brown have received the sort of racially based taunts that we have seen directed in the past at Republicans and Tea Party...
I had the pleasue of spending a full hour on the radio with Dan Rea at WBZ 1030 (CBS Boston), a true superstation that covers all of New England and into New York.
Dan made a point during the hour that character matters, and that Elizabeth Warren’s character is a legitimate issue.
I had a...
Elizabeth Warren is running hard left in her rhetoric, but the reality is she served big companies in her extensive private legal practice and got paid big, big dollars for it.
At the first debate, Brown scored big po...
Quick takes on the debate which just ended.
End Result — As with most of these things, people will see what they want.
I’d say while Brown won hands down the first debate, this one was more even. Brown won big on Warren’s personal problems, which took up the first 15 minutes or...
