A Rally for Warren, as Massachusetts Senate Race Intensifies

[elleng]

Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic candidate who has seemed on the ropes in the hard-fought Massachusetts Senate race, has planned a major rally for Saturday in Boston with Gov. Deval Patrick.

The rally, at Boston University, comes as the race against Senator Scott P. Brown, a Republican, has intensified, with both candidates broadcasting their first attack ads of the campaign.

The two are preparing to face off on Thursday in the first of four debates in what many consider the premiere Senate race of this election cycle. It is the most expensive Congressional race in the country and the most expensive in Massachusetts history and could help determine which party controls the Senate next year.

2. This is great news! Thanks elleng!

I have a cyberbud in Mass who has been volunterring and canvassing for Elizabeth for months..who's too busy to even communicate! They are Serious!

12. If you know someone on the Warren campaign . . .

Please suggest that they ask Bill Clinton to campaign for Warren. He could make the difference. She needs someone who can help some of the Independents towards her. Currently they are breaking for Brown.

13. Excellent Idea, TroyD..

I will write her NOW!

4. this woman

Inspires me

5. I hope she can debate

[SayitAintSo]

6. I think that will be her advantage / strong suit in this race

Her opponant risks more - looking arrogant, patronizing, etc. She is time enough for him.

7. ellen, you are great for posting this...I am very nervous about this race and looking

to my son in law, a political consultant, for some information.

I am SO rooting for Elizabeth...

9. I'm concerned about it too, yank,

tho spending time trying to boot cantor from the House.

Don't know exactly what the issues are with E. Warren, and would be happy to hear more.

10. The problem is Independents

Brown has huge leads with them in every poll.

So even though Massachusetts is a Democratic state and Warren is winning Democrats, she's not winning enough Independents. So far they have bought Brown's argument that he is a moderate & independent voice who would never dream of supporting the far-fight agenda of the Republican Party.

15. Thank you for your efforts to rid us all of that scum Cantor...

[elleng]

17. You're welcome, yank. Its the least I can do.

If you and/or yours would like, please let everyone know they too can help by contributing, at http://www.powellforva.com/

18. Good luck to Powell. Sounds like a good guy...

[TroyD]

8. Will Bill Clinton be going to Massachusetts?

Because what will determine Warren's success in November is whether she can win Independents. And Clinton could help make the case to some of them.

11. he really

needs to

[TroyD]

14. Style issues?

According to this article, there are debates going on over Warren's image, glasses etc.

16. Sure that's how we should pick our candidates...male, centerfold hustler over brainy, compassionate

but not so glamorous female. Jeez, is there any hope for the human race?
