Should have been "Warren tried to speak and Brown said he wasn't a student in her class." He constantly refers to he as "Professor". I assume he thinks the title either makes her look elitist or unworldly, as if professors don't have family crises, health problems, money worries, etc., like all the rest of us.

The comparison was pretty stark. The enthusiasm in the audience was definitely on her side.

Brown had to admit at one point that he supports Romney on the 'economy', and Brown hates to have Romney's name brought up in MA.

Gregory also ended up helping Warren when he asked her "Why has MA never elected a woman Senator before?", and the audience booed him.

about no female senator or govenor from Ma.

Gregory: I wonder why you think Massachusetts has never elected a female senator or govenor?

Warren: I don't know.

Gregory: No idea? Does it trouble you?

Warren: Well right now I'm trying to do something about that! (Wild cheering and applause)

Gregory had his sour puss face on, I don't think he liked the fact that Warren used him as her setup.
