SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Populist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) got a rock-star reception during a standing-room-only campaign rally here Monday, as hundreds of liberal activists cheered her broadsides against corporate interests and voiced hopes that her presence might shift the political winds in an increasingly Republican state.
The rally on behalf of Senate candidate Natalie Tennant was the latest in a string of recent Warren appearances in red and blue states alike, where Democratic base voters have embraced her fiery message as an envoy to working-class voters frustrated with both Wall Street and the Obama administration.
“Our job is to fight for the families of America,” Warren said, speaking to a packed ballroom at the Clarion Hotel in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle. “Stitch up the tax loopholes so that millionaires and billionaires pay at the same tax rate as the people in this room.”
Warren stumped in Kentucky late last month for Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, who, like Tennant, is running for the Senate in a state easily won by Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Later this week, the freshman senator and former Harvard professor will be in Michigan supporting Democratic Senate candidate Gary Peters.
Warren also has visited Oregon, Ohio, Washington and Minnesota this year and has made dozens of e-mail solicitations on behalf of Democratic Senate colleagues — an unusually aggressive effort by a senator who has repeatedly denied interest in a presidential campaign. In Kentucky, Warren raised more than $200,000 for Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).

Oh No. The Republicans are going to have to put someone one the ticket with high cheekbones
LOL! What a desperate propaganda from the ComPost to put lipstick on a pig. Rock star? Maybe crock star..
You mean she wasn't courting the coal country vote?
Fauxcahontas, the Harvard and Massachusetts far leftie? Yeah, that’s the ticket to save the Dem’s bacon.
Well..that was an unfortunate choice of words. Is Ms. Warren a big girl?
Harvard hired the blond haired, blue eyed woman and called her an Indian.
National Election.
Probably carry West Virginia if she does run - all while campaigning against coal.
Who messages sound great to the uneducated and uninformed - which most of the voting public in 2014 is.
If I was a liberal Democrat in 2014, I’d be laughing and crapping on everyone too.
Just think: we have thousands of people who are flooding our southern border - and those people will ***NEVER*** be sent home.
And everyone knows it.
But most Democrats will win re-election anyway....
Just how are Progressives turning from Obamalamadingdong and going for 1/64th Native American Elizabeth Warren since she is the hand picked candidate BHO wants to run against Hitllery? Just wait until Mr. Slicker than Snake S##t tells Organizing for America he wants her as the candidate. Clinton, Inc. will forever regret Bill’s ego stepping in to save the Muzzie Lover in Chief during the first term and campaigning for him the second time.
HELL no. Shepherdstown is next to Harper's Ferry, about as far geographically as well as socially from "coal country" as you can get.
Really? Bam-Bam lost WV twice. So did Kerry and Gore.
Awesome. Run her. Even the RINOs can’t find a “republican” to lose against her.
OK, I see.... it’s one of those “gentrified” places.
Nope, every stupid word she uttered can and should be highlighted. She is as evil as they come and I do believe, people are exhausted dealing with evil.
Heck, the blacks are starting to awaken to all this.
I’ve said since the beginning that they would tap her, so damn obvious. What they don’t seem to grasp, people truly are sick of the class warfare nonsense. Sans the idiots who thrive in that environment, but we definately outnumber them.
When the media get through propping her up, she’ll get just enough fraudulent votes to win.
Have to agree with you on that point.
Faux sure!
Not exactly ... Shepherdstown has been a little liberal arts college town since forever ... 1870 something ... sitting on the edge of a relatively conservative ‘redneck’ agricultural area.
The last god sucked, so it’s time for a new one.
Somehow this makes sense to liberals.
