Elizabeth Warren for Senate

The more I learn about Elizabeth Warren for Senate, the more I like her.  This is a woman who understands the problems on Wall Street, and believes in reining in the abuses.  And she talks about the deficit and taxes with compassion, intelligence, and a little anger.  She has a compelling personal history.

It's going to be tough.  That's because Scott Brown is a good candidate.  He's not as crazy as many people the GOP is putting out there.  As Republicans go, he's as moderate as they come.  And he's articulate and has a "regular guy" persona that voters like.

But make no mistake: he's one more vote to filubuster almost everything that the Crazies want to filibuster.  He's one more vote for Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader of the Senate.  He's against any reform of financial industry regulations.  He's going to vote to keep taxes low and the welfare state unsustainably underfunded.  We've got a chance to get rid of him now.
