Elizabeth Warren ended Senate campaign in debt despite record fund-raising ......

Yup...blame bad planning on the volunteers!

Even after raising a whopping $42 million for her Senate race this year - more than any other congressional candidate in the country – the senator-elect from Massachusetts told her supporters that her campaign does not have enough cash to pay its bills.

In an e-mail, the Harvard Law professor - considered one of the nation’s preeminent scholars of American debt - asked for donations to help her wash away the red ink.

Warren did not say how much debt she needs to pay down, but blamed the shortfall in part on the thousands of volunteers who flocked to her campaign, saying “that meant even more last-minute coffee and pizza.”

Will Scott Brown's Senate Departure Prove Brief?.....

Brown has not publicly said whether he would seek a return to the upper chamber, but close observers of Massachusetts politics have few doubts that the politically gifted, charismatic, and generally popular Republican would strongly consider a bid to duplicate his special election victory in 2010, when he claimed the seat long held by Ted Kennedy.

“From what I hear from people who’ve talked to Brown and are close to him, he definitely has interest in the special, if it happens,” said a Massachusetts Republican strategist. “But he hasn’t made up his mind that if it happens, he’s definitely going to run. He’s waiting to see where the appointment process goes, and then he’ll decide.”

Deval Patrick will be the Next U.S. Senator from Massachusetts & there will be no special election.....

And you think it's easy living in Massachusetts?

The day after the election I was speaking with a long time Democratic strategist who was convinced of two things. First that Deval Patrick will be the next U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, and second that he will not face a special election. At first I was incredulous, reminding him that the law states there must be a special election. He reminded me that the Democrats still have a super-majority in the legislature, and can change that law at will.

Here's how the scenario will most likely play out:

The legislature will change the law back to the governor being able to appoint a Senate Vacancy until the next regularly scheduled election. This will happen soon.

Next, Barack Obama will name John "Reporting for Duty" Kerry as Secretary of Defense.

Then, Deval Patrick will resign as Governor, paving the way for Acting Governor Tim Murray to appoint Patrick as the U.S. Senator.

That's how it is going to play out. Just you wait and see.

Brown Beats Warren in Character.....

And then came a moment largely unprecedented, even in modern politics. "You took on the powerful Wall Street banks and special interests and you let them know you want a senator who will be out there fighting for the middle class all of the time," Warren thundered as her supporters let out their loudest and most forceful cheer. Last night, we witnessed a Harvard Law School professor defeat an Army National Guard Colonel in his own home state and then disparage him in her victory speech.

Brown -- Not Good Enough.....

Really.....Warren has "stature"...really.....OK....if you say so....

In the end, Scott Brown was just too small to be a US Senator from Massachusetts.

Oh, there are plenty of things to say about why the race went the way it did -- and I'll write many of them when I've had a little bit of sleep.

But Massachusetts expects their Senators to be big figures. National figures. People who have purpose and stature.

Elizabeth Warren, whether you like everything she has to say, and whether she ends up being a good Senator, surely qualifies. You know what issues and passions drive her; you sense that she wants to shape the Commonwealth and the country.

You saw her speak in a major prime-time slot at the national convention; you saw her defend her ideas at a Senate hearing; you saw her on 60 Minutes and the cover of Time.

Brown is small, and grew smaller as the campaign progressed.

Boston Globe Cites 'Character' in Warren Endorsement. Really?.....

Character?!?

You are a “Professor” earning over $300,000 a year to teach one class at Harvard – Good for you! But I want to be clear…

Don’t demigod us about burying our kids with student debt….you and your husband are part of the problem. Costs spiraled upward from 3-7% for Higher Ed last year depending on your colleges profit or non-profit status. The Governments “take-over” of higher ed financing isn’t costing less as “promised” but more ( surprise! ). Additionally putting more Taxpayer dollars at risk during a Recession.…

Harvard pays it’s Professors, “Associate” Professors, and (Whew! ) “Assistant” Professors far above the median faculty salary.

Is college too expensive…probably.

Is the “payoff” there upon graduation, maybe if you applied yourself, worked on your studies 24/7 and choose a field that PAYS well upon completion?

Nobody forces you to take on that ridiculous debt. It’s a choice, and choices have consequences…namely keeping Elizabeth & her husband employed!

You and your Husband have made money legally “Flipping” Real Estate. – Good for you!

But I want to be clear…

Here you are railing against “predatory” foreclosure and banking behavior, while making money off the exact same thing! Per the Herald & Land records from Warren’s native Oklahoma City:

Purchasing a foreclosed home for $61,000 in June 1993, then selling it in December 1994 for $95,000 — a 56 percent mark-up in just 18 months. Buying a house for $30,000 in August 1993, then flipping it for $145,000 — a 383 percent gain after just five months. Lending one of her brothers’ money at 9.5 percent interest to buy a home for $35,000 in August 2000. He sold the place three months later for $38,500 — a 10 percent gain in 75 days. Providing her brother with financing to buy a $25,000 house. in 1994. He sold the property four years later for $42,000, a 68 percent increase.

That’s naming just a few….I dare say this would go under the title of Hypocrisy Howler….

You are hired by large Corporations to fight their legal battles against their everyday employees, and from what I can tell, you did a great job. Well, Good for you! But I want to be clear…

Don’t tell us your out here to “fight” for the “little guy” because we are getting “hammered”….I’d dare say you are one of the one’s holding that very hammer….

And what of Ms. Warren's character, so praised by the Globe in their endorsement?

The dictionary defines character as "qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity."

When it comes to the truth, Ms. Warren has brazenly lied, doubled down on her lies, and tripled down on her double downs for her entire campaign.

Let's start with her lies about her claims of Native American heritage.

No debate about it, Scott Brown made the right call....

Good for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown. Why should he do the Globe a favor and show up at their fakakta debate?

So he can listen yet again to Granny Warren yapping about the middle class getting “hammered,” and how Brown voted against a bill to produce “jobs” (which in this context means taxes)? How much more nonsense does he have to hear about Roe v. Wade?

Trick or treat indeed.

Union-backed super PAC raises questions from Republicans....

The Mass Values Independent Expenditure PAC will file its financial disclosures on Monday, and they will show that it received $75,000 each from the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the Service Employees International Union Local 1199, as well as $10,000 from SEIU Local 509, and $2,000 from MassEquality, the organization’s spokesman Steve Crawford said.

Brown, Warren cancel tomorrow’s Senate debate.....

 “The Scott Brown campaign today announced that out of concern for the hardship faced by people in the path of Hurricane Sandy that he will not be participating in tomorrow’s fourth and final debate,” campaign spokesman Colin Reed said in a statement. “It is simply not appropriate to go forward with a political debate when a disaster strikes. The focus for all of us before, during and after the storm, needs to be on emergency response and disaster relief, not campaigns and politics.”

Shortly after, Warren bowed out of the event.

Governor Chris Christie, singer James Taylor campaign on opposite sides of Mass. Senate battle.....

One is a two-fisted Republican rock star known for his mince-no-words confrontations with unionized teachers, liberal activists, and other who dare to cross him. The other is a gentle troubadour known for his melancholy ballads of love and loss.

On Wednesday, both hit the campaign trail in Massachusetts.

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey told reporters in Watertown that Senator Scott Brown would help break the gridlock in Washington.

Five Year Old Massachusetts Girl Olivia Endorses Scott Brown Video....

With the race for the U.S. Senate seat coming down to its final days, both candidates have been scrambling to secure as many votes and endorsements as possible.

The latest endorsement, however, comes from Olivia, who is supporting U.S. Senator Scott Brown because he is “good for the country” and for Massachusetts, she said.

Unions Admit to Fining Workers who don't Participate in Political Rallys....

Unions Admit to Fining Workers who don't Participate in Political Rallys

The Lilly Ledbetter Act exacerbates gender gap, discourages hiring......

However, the law does not give fair pay for equal work, but rather extends the period of time that women are able to file a claim of wage discrimination. With each new paycheck, the six-month time frame for filing a lawsuit resets. The bill passed with minimal Republican support.

The Republican members opposed the bill primarily because of how it affects employers — and therefore job creation — and on the belief that, as a result of the new legislation, gender discrimination — and hence, not hiring — in the workplace would likely increase because employers would fear lawsuits from female workers.

Elizabeth Warren and her Chicago union pals......

Read this Massachusetts......they are buying her election....

Elizabeth Warren is as far left wing as they come so unions know that jacking her up with the deep pockets of the union members’ (dues) bank accounts will practically (buy) insure her election to the Senate. Unions make up less than 12% of the entire workforce in the country and less than 17% in Massachusetts. Warren’s symbiotic relationship with them shows her failure to care about the rest of the state or country who are not union.

Warren on Biden: No Friend to Women ......

In “Two Income Trap,” a book she co-wrote with her daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi, Warren describes briefing Hillary Clinton, when she was first lady, about the bankruptcy bill backed by the financial industry. “It’s our job to stop that awful bill,” Warren quotes Clinton as saying. But several years later, when the bill came up for passage, Senator Clinton voted for it. “The bill was essentially the same but Hillary Rodham Clinton was not,” Warren wrote. As senator, “she could not afford such a principaled position…” When the bill finally passed, in 2005, then-Senator Joseph Biden was one of its biggest backers. “Senators like Joe Biden should not be allowed to sell out women in the morning and be heralded as their friend in the evening,” Warren said.

Unions Fine Members Who Don't Show Support for Elizabeth Warren......

We held Brown signs at the Lowell, Ma. debate and we were surrounded by Carpenter's Union, UAW, Teamsters, Firefighters...... yada, yada...............

This isn't the first instance in a Massachusetts Senate race where unions have been accused of generating fake grassroots support for the Democrat.

In 2010, before Brown's victory in the special election, a union member wearing a shirt supporting the Democratic candidate, Martha Coakley, told a local blogger on camera that he had been paid $50 to wear the shirt but that he was actually voting for Brown.

What Elizabeth Warren Teaches Us About Affirmative Action....

From the start, the blond, blue-eyed Warren had a lot of explaining to do about why she used such a tenuous claim to minority status to beat out other applicants for law school faculty positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Then things got worse for Warren when she had to admit that even the distant Cherokee connection she claims has no verifiable basis in fact.

Liz Warren loses her way even in land of moonbats ....

I swear if I hear "The Middle Class is getting hammered"ONE MORE TIME....my head will explode.

But Granny last night dusted off a new favorite word — investment. This can likely be attributed to the debating tips she got from Mike Dukakis — did he phone in from his tank? The Duke always loved the word “invest” in all its variations. Usually he was talking about investing in a “national model.”

Talk about a dog whistle for hacks. They know what an investment is. It’s a tax on somebody who works to be given to somebody who doesn’t. It’s an investment “in the future.” Their future, not yours.

Senate rivals hit hard on policy in Round 3....

I so tire of the class rhetoric from the Left - fair this-fair that.....STOP!

 “I believe that everybody pays a fair share, even millionaires, even billionaires, even big oil companies, and when everybody pays a fair share, we can all make the investments in the future,” she said.


Brown and Warren expressed some of their sharpest disagreements over Obama’s health care law, which Brown wants to repeal and which Warren supports.

“This is a jobs-crushing bill that is going to crush Massachusetts businesses,” Brown said.

Brown and Warren To Square Off in Third Debate....

Warren said she will focus on job creation in the debate.

“The next debate I hope will be about the issues that matter here to families in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. We’ve got 200,000 people who are unemployed so it should be about jobs,” she said, the Herald reported.
