WASHINGTON (AP) — Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is filling a void for liberal but disillusioned Democrats who flocked to President Barack Obama in 2008. She's attracting attention, money and help the liberal left isn't yet eager to give to Obama.

A longtime consumer advocate, the Harvard University professor has cast herself as a crusader against corporations and once said her work provided the "intellectual foundation" of the Occupy Wall Street movement — a statement Warren later backed away from. She's drawing large crowds and flexing her fundraising muscle with help from national progressive groups as her candidacy has caught fire among the small army of activists who dominate the party in the traditionally liberal state.

"America's middle class has been hammered for a generation and we've got a Congress that just doesn't get it and that's what this race is about. That's what people want to talk about ... I'm not discovering something new. I'm just giving voice to something that they are living," Warren said on Sunday after meeting with about 1,000 supporters at an athletic facility in Boston.

Warren is the thanks Scott Brown gets from the Dems for being a RINO.

Warren, at a Democratic Senatorial candidates' "debate" (more like a tongue bath, yeeewww.) was asked how she paid for law school. She "quipped", "I kept my clothes on." Asked to comment the next morning on a local radio call in show, Scott Brown quipped, "Thank God!"

A longtime consumer advocate

These self-appointed 'advocates' can p*** off. Nobody asked for their services, which usually involve nothing more than red tape and taxation.
