This is indeed good news as where I am the Brown signs seem to outnumber the Warren signs by about two to one.

political signs as I make my way off exit 13 from the Pike to her house through parts of Framingham, etc. All kinds of neighborhoods. So I get a certain "feel" from them during election seasons.

I am SO hopeful for Elizabeth. My dtr and son in law are huge fans of hers...

I live in central Mass and Brown is a lot more present, as is the case in the Springfield area, two areas that often make the difference.

Do not live in Massachusetts, but support Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

they needed to do this...

volunteering and canvassing for Elizabeth for months..no time for even communication. They're very Serious!

A new one will be up today. (this is in Wrentham, mind you). Probably out of desparation.

I don't know how any democrats could vote for Brown.

If you look at his voting record, it is very mixed. I can see how he may be attractive to some moderate democrats (and those that do not vote a straight ticket) and independents. Plus, he comes across as a really 'likable' guy. HOWEVER, looking closely at his voting record and you can see he went along with his party on nearly every vote that held back a lot of what Obama was trying to get passed to HELP our economy. All those instances where Republicans put up stumbling blocks, not because they thought the measure was bad, but just to keep Obama from getting something passed, he fell right in line.

THIS is what Elizabeth's campaign needs to focus on now. He put politics ahead of what was good for the nation. Keep hammering this home. Democrats need people in the house and senate who will support our President's agenda so we can get things moving in the right direction. Brown won't.

"If you look at his voting record, it is very mixed"

AND

"Looking closely at his voting record you can see he went along with his party on nearly every vote that held back a lot of what Obama was trying to get passed..."

------------

So as long as the vote was meaningless he was willing to placate Democrats? We're a little bit smarter than that. Hell I'm sure I could find things George W Bush supported that Democrats support that don't matter. That doesn't make him friendly to Democrats. It makes him a Republican politician trying to fool people.

for those living in solid blue states, to get those down ticket Democrats elected. Obama has California's 55 electoral votes. We have the luxury of concentrating our time and money on congressional, state and, most importantly, local democrats running for office.

I am happy to see Warren focusing on issues that are important to Massachusetts citizens. Brown wants votes, but when he is in Washington, he votes with the likes of Mitch McConnell and Jeff Sessions. Under no circumstances do southern conservatives have the interests of Massachusetts at heart, neither does Brown when all is said and done.

And who buy those HORRIBLE, oft-repeated ads of his.

MA has never elected a female senator. EVER. We've elected one of the rare black senators, but never a female one. We've also never managed an "own right" female governor. You'd think the People's Commonwealth of MA would have done better by now, but no...

Ten points are better than six, IMO--I won't rest on any laurels. This will be a fight to the finish.

and a 4.2% rate among registered voters.

I think I'll wait and see if this is a trend before moving beyond cautious optimism.

Sorta restores my faith. There is NO WAY that ANY Democrat should be voting for scott brown - especially when they have an alternative like Elizabeth Warren!!! She understands AND embodies the very core of what it means to be a Democrat. And I would think that Massachusetts would want a confirmed and dedicated "D" in that job as opposed to a sometimes-kinda-sorta-maybe when it's merely politically expedient.

SO glad to see this! I'm actually relieved. He had better numbers for so long I was starting to get disillusioned about Massachusetts!

I've read so far today.

There are many people out there who enjoy ticket splitting. They think it proves they are open minded. Some want to find some Republican they can praise for being sane compared to most of the Republican Party and they want to reward Brown for not falling totally in line.

But the Bay State is very Democratic on national issues. Voters need reminding that the fate of the U.S. Senate may rest on who they elect as their Senator.

Brown is the type of guy who can CHARM the fuck out of you and voters ESPECIALLY woman voters like a guy like Brown because he's attractive even though he's really a WINGNUT posing as a moderate

Besides, Scotty will be exhausted after the first debate. He won't be able to keep up. All beauty, no brains.

She can handle that many debates. Brown's brain will fry from having to practice for all that.

She will have plenty of ammo from using Brown's voting record in the Senate.

that feeds into voters' (correct) impressions that the GOP is anti-female.

Fingers crossed.

Democrats MUST not neglect the Senate and House. Not much can be accomplished without them.

I'm getting pretty tired of hearing Brown on the radio and seeing him on TV. He and his backers are all in on this one. I just hope our neighbors to the south see through his regular guy shtick and remember they're voting for someone to fill Teddy's seat.

Go Warner!

I may be more invested in this race than any other besides the Presidency.

Sherrod Brown, too, but Warren probably most of all.

This is not exactly a very big sample or a very good polling institute. There is a PPP poll coming out.

PPP has her up.

Read it here in Politics 2012: http://www.democraticunderground.com/125197982#post1

You guys are doing a bang-up job of delivering Congress to the blue column

That Scott Brown's visitations will cease to be come November.

Scott Brown doesn't look like one, but he votes with them, and the crazy red states will continue to pump them out. Warren is for the people and, thus, very scary to the right wing.

I first saw E. Warren in 2009 when she was on Bill Maher's show or perhaps it was The Daily Show, or Colbert...anyway...she came on to explain T.A.R.P. for those of us who wanted to know about the bailout. In fewer words than a short paragraph, she made sense to those of us (like myself) who are mathematically and/or financially challenged. She was someone that I'd watch grow into what I hoped to be Tim Geithner's replacement. *sigh* My niece was starting law school @ Georgetown. While she was visiting my Mom in San Diego we had lunch &I asked her if she'd ever heard of Elizabeth Warren & she hadn't. Flash forward...she now is a "daughter of Georgetown", & knows "who she is & doesn't remember her until she saw things re; her run for senate. (she never picked her head up from studying, pro bono, internships, et al) I don't remind her that it was me who talked about her but I am glad she knows her now. That leads me back to that big speech in front of the DNC..."THERE IS NO RED AMERICA, THERE IS NO BLUE AMERICA, WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!" "ONLY IN AMERICA IS MYSTORY EVEN POSSIBLE". (paraphrasing, but you get my drift) We know what we thought...or at least it IS.what I thought...and he was a state senator!

Now here we are...8 yrs later...President Barack Hussein Obama has been POTUS for four years. And we will vote...& when we do ..the 99% will be the difference...and spreading ddown-ticket not only nationally, but local & statewide as well. The power of our voices will be our votes! This is our chance to make the other side spend more than a billion dollars on the presidential race alone & God only knows how many more of their precious dollars will be spent...but one thing I do know is...OUR IDEAS ARE BETTER & without our VOTES, the lying, manipulating, job creating ladder pulling, door closing, I've got mine folks, the my God is better or more right than your God folks, the folks that try to legislate a woman's health, or those who use love as a "wedge issue" fuck... I got carried away this morning...(long story for later when I get offa my soapbox...( note to self...re: dinner last night & disagreement with a long time best pal of our family who is diehard rethug but sweet otherwise)...Anyway...we must elect all progressive or D candidates this November & make this year a reverse WAVE election! We need solutions & those candidates who are totally bought & payed for step aside for those who want to govern.

We need to be the 99%!

OCCUPY THE BALLOT BOX, THE EARLY VOTE, THE MAJORITY, & THEN WE CAN GET OUR COUNTRY BACK IN HANDS THAT MAKE IT...TOGETHER!!!

Thank you Elizabeth Warren, for helping me with the numbersnumbers. I know deep down, you will win Teddy's seat back & do what I know you will...to help our country get back on track.

(I just had to get it out even on my cell phone)

I want Warren on the political stage for a long time to come!

I just moved to Boston from NYC a few months ago and was getting kind of depressed about the political situation here. This is giving me some hope!

The closer to the election and the more informed people are, the better this lead should get.

She is the best.

the margin of error is still too large and the sample size is awfully small. I will wait for another firm to confirm this before I start Jumping for Join

Maybe the people are finally begin to pay attention.

"The poll 545 registered voters has a 4.2 percent margin of error, while the sample of 444 likely voters has a 4.6 +/- percent margin of error."

Only 444 likely voters polled (low amount) and the margin of error is a bit high (4.6 +/- percent margin of error). They need to sample a larger group (i.e.-1000-3000) and bring the margin of error to +/- 3% for me to feel more comfortable with this sample poll.

I couldn't understand how he kept a lead for so long.

Brown can't be trusted to defend the interests of Massachusetts at crunch time, Warren can be trusted to do that.

Brown isn't facing a Martha Coakley this time around. Some of the so-called democrats for Brown only hurt Brown. Ray Flynn is a anti-woman, corrupt right-wing asshole who has no connection to younger democrats. Walsh is angry about losing his one and only chance at a US House seat, the rest is a motley collection of never were democrats.

I still haven't finished my list -- I generally don't do calls on Sundays for volunteer phone banking -- but I'll continue to do so tomorrow after most people on the East Coast are done with their dinners.

We can't risk Scott Brown remaining in the Senate.

Can't we just go up there and register and then vote. All we have to do is say we live in a friends basement.
Worked for Rmoney. Why isn't the press all over him over his voter fraud?

Northampton, Western Mass and country & mountain towns: Shelburne Falls, Greenfield, hills & hollers- I hear western Massachusetts is more Warren country, but I was heartened to see way more Warren signs during my visit than Brown signs. I just had to get a shot to post up on DU:



And while we're at it, a little local scenery. No trees turning yet- I just got back a couple of hours ago.

Northampton and Amherst are college towns with lots of
GLBT culture, students, old hippies that never grew up, etc.
Rachel Maddow lives there for Pete's sake !

Travel 20 miles outside that Mecca and it becomes
rural (i.e. Repub.) real fast.

I went to UMASS in Amherst. Love that place, man.

But I've seen more Warren signs in the last 5 days than I've seen all summer.

Most of the Brown signage is bumper stickers of people on 93 South, heading to I-90 West.

Friends and I have given Warren XXX amount of dollars, and I was wondering the other day if it was paying off. It was, and is.

What works for Warren should work for C. Murphy, Kaine, Baldwin, Tester, Carmona, Berkley, and Donnelly, to name but a few.
