Via Andrew Kaczynski (h/t BenSmith), it appears that the spirits are with Scott Brown this year: ...
Native American? I doubt this will move many votes in the Massachusetts Senate race, but it does illustrate how pursuit of “diversity” in higher education can drive institutions to make rather implausible claims: Elizabeth Warren’s avowed Native American heritage — which the candidate rarely if ever discusses...
In early June 2009, long before Scott Brown would emerge as the 41st vote, and even longer before Brown would be challenged in the 2012 Senate race by Elizabeth Warren, Warren was the darling of the push for Obamacare. Warren released a study showing that over...
Sign of trouble No. 1: Warren is running to the left of Obama on gay marriage and portraying herself as heroic, apparently, per Greg Sargent (via Instapundit): In an interesting move, Elizabeth Warren comes out and calls on the leader of the Democratic Party to complete...
An article at Boston Catholic Insider asserts that Mitt Romney lied during the Arizona debate about forcing Catholic Hospitals to provide the "morning after" pill to rape victims. Here's the debate passage (via Right Scoop): KING (Moderator): Governor Romney, both Senator Santorum and Speaker Gingrich have said...
You owe us, and we want our fair share of all that money you are raising online. You built a campaign out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your message to market on bandwidth the rest of us paid for; you hired workers...
No one could have seen this coming, right? Democrat Elizabeth Warren has opened up a lead against Republican incumbent Scott Brown for the first time in their U.S. Senate showdown, but a barrage of attack ads appears to have damaged Warren and Brown’s standing among Massachusetts...
Elizabeth Warren claimed to have provided the intellectual foundation for the Occupy movement, and of course, articulated one of the most pure redistributionist rationales which made her a hero of the Occupy movement. But Warren has found a place she does not want Occupied, her employer Harvard...
for a first television ad (h/t @Allahpundit): Although she may be on the defensive with ads like this against her: ...
Elizabeth Warren has stepped in it with her boast that she created the Occupy Wall Street movement: “I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she says. “I support what they do.” Warren's boast was an overstatement much akin to Al Gore's claim of...
I'll be watching the Massachusetts Senate Democratic Debate tonight at 7 p.m. because it will be the first appearance of Elizabeth Warren. I haven't decided what to do in the race, despite the overwhelming reader vote to support Brown, but I'll be listening. The debate will...
I know, I said Bye-Bye Brown last spring after he wrote an op-ed in Politico slamming the Ryan plan and playing into the Democratic meme that Republicans want to abandon seniors. And he has been a disappointment on several key votes, such as Dodd-Frank. But...
This is almost enough to cause me to rescind my Bye Bye Brown pronouncement, because Elizabeth Warren ascending to the Senate to replace Scott Brown would make Ted Kennedy seem like the good ol' days. The progressives are in a lather about this video by Warren...
Via The Hill: The White House announced Friday that it is shelving a major planned Environmental Protection Agency regulation that would have tightened smog standards, dealing a huge blow to environmentalists that had pushed the Obama administration to resist industry pressure to abandon the regulation. In a...
As readers know, I've been blogging about the Recall (Robert) Wirch effort for several months, long before the national media paid attention to the fact that there were Democratic State Senators in Wisconsin subject to recall. Here are links to some (but not all) of my...

Just a quick follow up to my post Bye-Bye Brown.This analysis by Nate Silver of how Republicans may reach a "tipping point" on the Ryan budget as there begins a trickle of defections, and how damaging Scott Brown's Politico op-ed was (emphasis mine): More recently, Senator Scott...
You don't need me. You have $7 million plus in the bank, and as of now, you're the most popular politician in Massachusetts.I'm just a small-time, part-time, squeeze-in-posts-between-real-life, blogger. I supported you in early December 2009, when no one gave you a chance, and continued to...
