Elizabeth Warren to Launch Senate Bid

I hope she beats “I drive a truck” Scott Brown, we need more voices like hers in the notoriously useless Senate

pantslessprogressive: “Republicans were clearly also hoping that if they threw enough mud, some of it would stick. For people like Ms. Warren — people who warned that we were heading for a debt crisis before it happened — threaten, by their very existence, attempts by conservatives to sustain their antiregulation dogma. Such people must therefore be demonized, using whatever tools are at hand.” - Paul Krugman - March 20, 2011 It stuck. Congratulations, Republicans. Take this news as a clear indication that President Obama absolutely will cave to partisan pressure. Welcome to America. Get a job. Papers, please.

Elizabeth Warren, recognized by many as a natural choice to head the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and a fierce advocate for consumers’ rights, is rightly seen as a bulwark against unscrupulous corporate special interests by GOP members of Congress.

They’ll do anything to stop her because of how effective she is at standing up to corporate rapaciousness and malfeasance … they’ve threatened a filibuster of her confirmation in the Senate and, now, in the House, they’re attacking her character.
