Elizabeth Warren Leaps Over Primary Challenge In Massachusetts

Elizabeth Warren will not have to face a Democratic primary challenger in the Massachusetts Senate race. At the state's Democratic Convention today, Warren secured more than 95 percent of the delegate vote.

"Whoever he once was, I can tell you who he is now: Scott Brown is a Wall Street Republican. A big oil Republican. A Mitt Romney Republican."

Warren also evoked Sen. Ted Kennedy, saying she would do her "best to honor his memory" and that "it's a long way from Ted Kennedy to Scott Brown."

Break out the popcorn.

I'll bet Marisa DeFranco isn't very happy she was pushed aside to see a laughingstock put in her place.

The Democratic party in MA will soon regret this move.    Bring it Lizzie!

Perhaps caught up in the thrill of an overwhelming convention victory, Warren also seemed inexplicably unaware of the history behind the female quest for office in Massachusetts. Asked by a reporter if she is the first woman "to seek this seat" she said, " I don't know" and suggesting asking the pundits.

I think everyone with two functioning brain cells could name who Scott Brown's opponent was last time around.....everyone but poor Lizzie that is (http://michaelgraham.com/archives/liz-warren-can-rsquo-t-remember-the-last-woman-to-run-for-us-senate-in-ma/)

I wonder if the reporter was mocking her.  :-)

Lizzie will be the first Indian breast feeding senate candidate in history.  :rotf:

Does kinda sound that way, especially paired with that Kennedy reference.
